# Colorful Sustainable Recycled Stools Alexander Latersztain Designs the Stump Recycled Stools By Amy Duong | Published 2023-12-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stump-recycled References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/12/19/colorful-stool-is-made-from-80-recycled-plastic/)  Alexander Latersztain designs the new Stump Recycled stool series for [Derlot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stump-stool-1), which is essentially a recycled plastic iteration of the iconic Stump Stools. The original stool embodies a [bold yet minimal design language](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utzon-stool) and the new update essentially carries the same visual themes with a similar structure. The standout difference is that the new iteration is made from 80% [recycled post-industrial plastic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair) LDPE for a sustainable build. Due to the material construction of the stools, the patterns are finished with a terrazzo-like look with bright colors that come together to form what appears to be a kaleidoscope result. The brand notes that it is more than just a stool, it is a representation of its commitment to sustainable design.
