What you will find in the exhibition

Lighting Underwater Jellies

DESIGN: Supermaxistudio Torino
MATERIAL: theBreath® patented textile



Like jellyfish gliding through pristine waters, these lamps evoke a sense of harmony and natural purity. Made from the patented theBreath® fabric, designed to absorb and break down airborne pollutants such as NOx and VOCs, Underwater Jellies blend organic form with sustainable function. As air flows across their delicate surfaces, it is passively purified—requiring no energy.

EOS Three Point Lamp

DESIGN: Model No.
MATERIAL: PLA infused with OurCarbon, a fixed carbon from sewage sludge



Model No. 3D prints full scale furniture in plant based bioplastics. OurCarbon, a fixed carbon material made from sewage sludge, is infused into the material to give the Esker Chair and the EOS 3-Point Lamp a deep black color. These pieces bring together waste free manufacturing and waste-based materials to form a new sustainable luxury.

Furniture collections

COMPANIES: Perlma, ORSA Foam, Olmo Giuseppe
MATERIAL: Flexible polyurethane foam



Furniture collections in flexible polyurethane foam of different densities. Visco PET uses recycled polyols from PET bottles and plant-based ingredients to provide comfort and breathability. RisOrsa® employs plant-based polyols to reduce environmental impact while maintaining high quality and elasticity. Natura® combines renewable plant oils with Variable Pressure Foaming (VPF) technology, creating eco-friendly, recyclable materials without harmful blowing agents. All products are certified according to international standards, ensuring safety and quality.

Clouds

DESIGN: IAMMI
MATERIAL: Eco Foam by Re Mat, RE-Flock by Pulvera



The CLOUDS collection, made of Eco Foam and covered in RE-Flock, combines minimalist design and sustainability. The recycled polyurethane foam padding offers a cozy comfort, blending sustainability and functionality, while the regenerated flock covering provides softness, durability, and an elegant natural texture.

REEF

DESIGN: Michele Menescardi
BREND: Connubia
MATERIAL: Eco Foam by Re Mat



The Reef armchair is designed with a sustainable approach, featuring padding made of recycled polyurethane foam derived from bulky waste and production scraps. It is upholstered with a fabric made from post-consumer recycled plastic and has an internal structure crafted from FSC® certified wood.

Tiles for flooring

COMPANY: Nazena
MATERIAL: Textile waste and wood



Nazena presents three interior products: a floor or wall tile, an office partition, and a coffee table. All items are made from an innovative material made with at least 70% post-consumer textile waste

DUSE

DESIGN: PS+A Palomba Serafini
MATERIAL: San Balance by ReUp®



Duse is a small wireless lamp ideal for those seeking refined and versatile lighting. Made with the innovative San Balance® material, this rechargeable table lamp combines style and practicality in a clean and modern design. ReUp® creations utilize Bio Circular Attributed (BCA) Balance® products by Versalis, polymers derived in whole or in part from biomass, i.e., biological substances.

LinumTube Chair

DESIGN: Studio Jonathan Radetz
MATERIAL: Linen Fabric, Steel Tubes



LinumTube is a collaborative research project between the design studio Studio Jonathan Radetz and the Fraunhofer WKI from Germany. The core idea is to create ecologically, sustainable seating furniture for circularity with components made of pure materials such as functionalised, open, multi-layered weavings in combination with tubular steel structures, that can be separated from each other through non-destructive disassembly. This allows the components to be re-used, re-arranged and returned to the material cycle. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

II: single vase, candle holder
III: trio vase

COMPANY: rehub
MATERIAL: revéro – recycled glass.



rehub was created in Murano to give a second life to otherwise non-recyclable glass scraps. From this vision comes revéro, an innovative glass paste that can be processed entirely at room temperature and is characterised by a consistency similar to clay and suitable not only for 3D printing but also for traditional moulding, injection and rolling processes. res, a collection of three objects presented this year at Galleria Rossana Orlandi, is made entirely from revéro and serves as a tribute to the craftsmanship of three Murano glassworks: Nicola Moretti Murano, Effe Tre, and Simone Cenedese.
