Supernovas and Odd Matter created an easy-to-assemble furniture line called Afterlife that's not only made entirely from recycled plastic, it's recyclable too. The collection was created to support dynamic living and it does so by allowing plenty of flexibility, as designs like crates and benches can be stacked one atop another to create customized storage solutions in the home. Unlike many furniture designs, these flat-pack styles were carefully developed to consider the end-of-life cycle.
According to the creators of Afterlife, new colorways will be released based on available waste streams such as packaging, toys and water pipes. As a circular design and lifestyle company, Supernovas uses three manufacturing techniques to generate ready-to-assemble objects: rotomolding, pressing and 3D printing.
