Marco Campardo designed the series for SEEDS, using [discarded materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-up-side-tables) from the industrial production of veneer. The collection boasts artificial wooden patterns that create unique designs. The designer selects scrap veneer pieces from Al[i's warehouse located in Emilia Romagna to create the [contemporary furniture collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightness-of-form). Then, the veneer is glued together to form thick pieces of artificial wood. The collection is hand-crafted and creates a juxtaposition between the natural and artificial worlds. Dubbed the George Collection, the series includes dark stools and tables. Each item in the collection is made with a geometric design, which creates a sense of movement throughout the series.
