The 'Unroll Collection' Offers Sustainable Furniture Design
Georgia Wray Norsten — December 4, 2024The 'Unroll Collection' by Czech design brand Two Hundred Tons redefines furniture craftsmanship with innovation and sustainability. Designers Adam and Monika Štok use laser-cut steel tubes to transform standard materials into lightweight, structurally robust pieces that minimize waste and maximize functionality.
The collection features shelving units, coffee tables, and coat hooks crafted from deconstructed steel tubes. By precisely cutting and unfolding the metal, the designers create wave-like corrugated panels and durable, flat-packed components that ensure efficient transportation. Finished with a powder lacquer, each piece boasts longevity and resistance to wear.
With sustainability at its core, the Unroll process produces zero waste, using a single operation on rotary lasers. Combining cutting-edge technology and hand craftsmanship, the collection showcases the versatility of metal, offering sleek designs that are durable, recyclable, and timeless.
