Sustainable solutions and circular designs for a better tomorrow.
Eris Choo
going full circle

As the world grapples with the urgent need for sustainable practices, these innovative design and architectural solutions address functional needs whilst also embracing circularity, the reuse of materials, and minimising waste.

turning waste into creative play

Designed by Kauppi & Kauppi for TreCe, KLOSS's modular recycling furniture system proves that waste sorting units can be just as intriguing and characterful as any other furniture in a space.

Inspired by children's building blocks, the system includes three 62-68L modules made from durable recycled steel and recycled ABS plastic, with different silhouettes and visual properties that can be combined in various creative formations. A slew of modules and configurations, colours, tops, lids, and accessories give the recycling units its final shape and expression.

This playful modularity allows designers and architects to explore myriad possibilities, whether they want it to be close, accessible, practical, or adjustable to suit the changing needs of users of the space.
