From Recycled Ocean Plastic Mattresses to Flat-Packed Origami Lamps
Elena Rahman — June 20, 2021 — Art & Design
Showcased in the June 2021 design ideas, alternative materials and manufacturing are on the rise. As consumer demands for sustainable and eco-conscious products persist in correlation with the planet's growing climate change crisis, companies respond with innovations that range from recycled ocean plastic mattresses to flat-packed origami-inspired lamps.
The Harmony Lux Hybrid Mattress by Beautyrest represents the third iteration in the sustainable Harmony collection. The mattress is made with recovered ocean plastic and includes layers of memory foam to relieve pressure and provide adaptive comfort. Another example is the Spinel lamp—a modular flat-packed hanging light. Its collapsable design is made with recyclable wooden materials.
These ideas highlight how sustainability can be incorporated into our designs without sacrificing style or functionality.
