The Jose Collection, or in Portugese 'Linha Jose,' is a range of media storage and armoires from Brazilian designer Mauricio Arruda. The furniture is produced using eco-conscious materials and processes with a concentration on the environmental impact a product's life cycle has.
Composed of plastic boxes and crates, the Jose Collection finds a permanent home for items that are otherwise viewed as disposable and nomadic. The varying sizes and colours of the plastic crates used add life and vibrancy to the wood frame.
