Eneris Collective works in collaboration with Barcelone-based biomaterials brand NaifactoryLAB to develop the Nontalo stool that is made from [waste olive pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-girard-stool). The stool is made from [six different modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clover-collective-modular) -- this includes three P-shaped pieces that are able to be fused together and positioned in different ways and three straight rods that are used to hold it together.

It forms a variety of shapes including a three-legged stool or a bench seat, with creative liberty to create other silhouettes as well. All of these are made entirely from Reolivar, which is a [smooth cork-like material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-cork-seating) that is made by NaifactoryLAB. It is made by blending olive puts with bio-based binders with other natural ingredients.
