Built for repair, disassembly, and a second life
Simon Legald's Bit collection for Normann Copenhagen features stools, a lounge chair, side and coffee tables made from up to 95% recycled plastic waste and rotation-molded at exactly 120°C. That number is the whole point: low enough that the material can be reheated and remolded again without breaking down, so the stool the plastic came from can, eventually, become a stool again. Ten colors, three shapes.
Built from what got thrown away 4,330 grams of waste, one chair. Mater built the frame from 20% recycled steel, then set a seat and back pressed from Matek®—Mater's patented blend of coffee shell waste, wood waste, and industrial plastic, bound and press-molded into a single durable shell. Stacks up to eight for storage.
Transparent builds its speakers and turntables around one idea: wireless technology dates fast, everything else doesn't have to. So only the module handling connectivity — Wi-Fi standards — is designed to be swapped, while the frame, drivers, and cabinetry are built to run for decades.
Every joint is built for disassembly, not permanence, so a table that's lived a full life can be repaired, donated, or broken down and rebuilt as something else entirely. The company puts the number at 98% recyclable.
Soft, structured, and once a bottle. Baskets and trays felted entirely from 100% recycled PET bottles. No virgin plastic, no hard mold. The felt is soft enough to sit unobtrusively on a shelf, structured enough to hold its form without scratching what's underneath. Comes in a range of colors, shapes, and sizes.

New technology moves faster than most design conversations can keep up with, and most of what gets written about doesn't go into much depth. So we're starting a series: a handful of posts, each focused on one piece of new tech, how it works, and what it actually changes for the consumer.
A game table has to earn its footprint. RS Barcelona's—handcrafted in Spain—hold a match, then clear for dinner. With the 2026 World Cup on home soil, a look at the foosball, pool, ping pong, and shuffleboard tables worth knowing.
