Designed by Nicolas Le Moigne, the Trash Cube stool tightly embraces the eco-friendly practice of recycling material. A builder's trash becomes a standing man's treasure, creating a perfect concrete seat for a modernist at heart.
Maintaining some textural characteristics of its fiber cement scrap origins, the Trash Cube stool embodies an expressive brutalism that would greatly complement the architectural environment of a Le Corbusier home. Through compressed waste materials from the construction site, this industrial matter is given new life and perhaps a happy home.
