GENOVA recycled plastic black coffee table by TIPTOE

Our aim is to demonstrate that it is possible to design objects in recycled plastic that combine beauty and timeless style as well as being long-lasting. The challenge we faced was to go beyond mere recycling and to create extraordinary items that make us completely forget the previous use of the plastic from which they are made!

It takes around 100 yoghurt pots to produce the top for a VENEZIA table! This explains the top’s white colouring. The burst of colours, gold or silver, come from the label fragments which also give us clues about its previous incarnation! The VENEZIA is really a nod to Terrazzo, the celebrated tiles, also traditionally made from cast-offs of other bits of mineral waste. Each VENEZIA table is unique and has its own, individual history, of plastic given a second youth through recycling!
