Upcycled Organic Matter Furniture

The 'OTTAN' Homewares Collection is Made with Local Waste

— December 2, 2020 — Eco
The 'OTTAN' homewares collection has been designed by the Istanbul-based Ottan Studio as a range of furniture and items for the home that will provide eco-conscious consumers with a way to make their living space a little greener.

The collection is all achieved using food waste as well as fallen leaves and grass that have been pressed to form the various products seen here. This process eliminates the need for virgin materials, while also increasing the sustainable nature of each item by helping ease concerns surrounding end-of-life disposal.

The 'OTTAN' homewares collection is part of the continued shift towards more sustainable decor products for the home as consumers become more weary of how everyday items could have an effect on the environment.
