Supernovas Launches 100% Recycled & Recyclable Furniture Collection Designed by Odd Matter.

Circular design and lifestyle company Supernovas is launching Afterlife, it’s first easy-to-assemble, entirely recyclable furniture line made exclusively from recycled plastic. The collection, designed in collaboration with Dutch design studio Odd Matter, includes crates and benches in unique colourways. Afterlife’s playful design and eye-catching patterns prove that, if treated with creativity, waste can also be beautiful and integrated into people’s lives.

Afterlife pioneers the combination of three manufacturing techniques to produce recycled assemblable objects, which include rotomoulding, pressing and 3D printing. The collection gives waste a new life cycle and is made of recycled plastic waste streams such as PE and PET, namely those found in bottles, packaging, squeeze bottles, toys, gas and water pipes.

The collection includes benches and crates, releasing new colourways according to the waste streams available throughout the year. Supernovas and Odd Matter opted for benches and crates because of the malleability these objects allow for; they can be given different purposes and can functionally contribute to any living or working space.

Together with Afterlife, Supernovas launches Streaming, a one-of-a-kind members program that allows customers to swap or return their products as their lifestyle and tastes change. Demonstrating the brand’s belief in the circular economy both from a product and service design perspective, all Supernovas products are transformable at their owners’ request, ensuring the material never becomes waste again.

The Afterlife collection and subscriptions to Streaming are available at supernovas.world.
