The 'Base Plastic' project has been designed by Binsar Priandika as a range of products for outdoor spaces that are ready to withstand years of use thanks to their durable yet recycled construction. The products come in the form of hexagonal units that fit together to achieve a cluster of seats and/or planters, which makes them well-suited for outdoor public spaces. Each of the components are achieved using plastic water bottle caps, which would enable the furniture pieces to easily withstand exposure to the elements.
The 'Base Plastic' project is achieved using thousands of plastic caps and identifies what can be done to keep post-consumer waste out of the landfill. The naturally resilient form of the material also makes it well-suited for high-traffic pedestrian spaces.
Recycled Plastic Outdoor Furniture
The 'Base Plastic' Project by Binsar Priandika is Functional
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Outdoor Furniture - Opportunity for companies to create outdoor furniture made from recycled materials and promoting sustainable consumption.
2. Modular Furniture - Opportunity for companies to create modular furniture pieces that can be easily arranged and re-arranged to create flexible seating and/or planter arrangements.
3. Circular Economy - Opportunity for companies to contribute to a circular economy by repurposing post-consumer waste to create functional products rather than sending it to landfill.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - Opportunity for furniture companies to create outdoor furniture that is both sustainable and functional while reducing their carbon footprint.
2. Recycling - Opportunity for recycling companies to identify new ways to repurpose post-consumer waste beyond traditional recycling methods.
3. Public Spaces - Opportunity for cities and municipalities to invest in functional and durable outdoor furniture pieces while promoting sustainable consumption and waste reduction.
