Research project tribute to Jean Prouvé

‘Low carbon footprint objects’ is a project based on the idea of using pollution (CO2) as raw material.

The objects are produced from waste mixed with a 100% natural resin (sodium silicate) that consumes CO₂ as it dries.

Short flax fibre waste is collected at the end of an industrial process.

With reference to Jean Prouvé, the idea was to create economical and resistant table legs. Linen waste is therefore wrapped around a plastic cylinder and then impregnated with resin. Once the resin has cured, the composite tube is cut in half and the edges are sanded.
