Plateaux
Industrial Design
Plateaux is a coffee table made with PET preforms.
Since plastic packaging, and especially PET bottles, are the cause of most of the land and marine pollution, the idea behind the plateaux project is the overcoming of bottled water in favor of the use of water supply. However, the pet blowing technologies developed so far must not be thrown away, but used and implemented for other products. Vases, bowls, even chairs! The coffee table is only one of the possible applications of this technology, now considered traditional. Another interesting side of the project is the possibility of abolishing the molds, blowing the preforms freely. In this way each piece will be unique and casual.
