Project 02 
Muti-Coffee Furniture





This project focuses on material innovation and modular design; it comprises a set of furniture designed for coffee shops, including stools and side tables. The core concept is to minimise waste from whole pieces of furniture through a modular, demountable design, whilst facilitating maintenance and the replacement of components. The tops of the furniture are made from discarded coffee grounds, with the aim of reintroducing waste materials into the industry to create value. Whilst bveing robust and reducing the cafe's expenditure on furniture, it also provides customers with a pleasant user experience. CNC machines are utilised during processing to minimise cutting waste as much as possible.
