Oblong coffee table with recycled plastic tabletop and steel legs
This elongated coffee table features a rounded tabletop and four steel legs from TIPTOE. The tabletop is made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic, which is made from old yogurt cups.
TIPTOE's mission is to create sustainable furniture that is well-designed, well-crafted, and durable. Based on these values, TIPTOE spent several months developing this collection of tables and shelves made from recycled plastic—a glimpse into the furniture of the future.
TIPTOE aims to demonstrate that it's possible to create objects from recycled plastic that combine beauty with timeless style and are durable. Beyond mere recycling, these extraordinary designs completely forget what their material was previously used for.
Almost unbelievable: Around 100 yogurt cups are needed to produce the top for a VENEZIA table. This explains the white color of the top. The collected plastic waste is processed into chips and then pressed – without any binding agents. The color specks come from the label fragments – a small hint of the previous incarnation. VENEZIA is a reference to terrazzo, the famous tiles that are also traditionally made with mineral residues. Each VENEZIA table is unique and has its own individual plastic story.
The initial lifespan of the raw material is radically altered. A product like a yogurt cup, created for an extremely short, ephemeral period, becomes a worthwhile, solid product. The tables and shelves in the collection are durable and useful for several generations. It's a continuous cycle: the newly created product is itself 100% recyclable.
Care: The tabletops are resistant to stains and moderate heat. Recycled plastic is a precious material that requires due care. To clean the table or shelf, simply wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The material is sensitive to certain chemicals such as solvents, thinners, and strong cleaning agents. Spilled water, wine, or other beverages should be wiped up promptly.
