Circular Story
TU01 - Redefining Versatility with Trespa Panels and Reclaimed Inox Tubes
The TU01 collection reimagines sustainable furniture by combining upcycled Trespa panels and reclaimed inox tubes from New Laser to create a versatile and durable range for both indoor and outdoor use. Designed for hybrid spaces, this collection brings together strength, longevity, and minimalist aesthetics, launching a new era of eco-conscious design.
-
The TU01 collection is crafted in collaboration with Trespa and New Laser. Through the Trespa Second Life Program, we upcycle HPL panels that don’t meet certification standards or are recovered from deconstructed buildings. This provides us with high-quality, durable materials in a variety of colors and finishes.
Additionally, we partnered with New Laser, a Belgian metal fabrication expert, to reclaim surplus inox tubes. These stainless steel components, originally unused, form the structural elements of the collection, giving new purpose to otherwise idle materials.
-
The TU01 collection is thoughtfully designed to maximize the natural properties of its materials. Custom Trespa connectors seamlessly integrate panels with inox tubes, creating lightweight, stackable pieces that are as practical as they are sleek.
The collection’s minimalist and functional design ensures adaptability for flexible workspaces, event areas, or hybrid indoor-outdoor environments. With durability and ease of repair at its core, TU 01 delivers long-lasting furniture solutions without compromising on aesthetics or performance.
-
Guided by eco-conscious principles, the production of TU01 prioritizes efficiency and sustainability. The repurposed inox tubes and Trespa panels are meticulously crafted to create lightweight yet strong furniture pieces, rigorously tested to ensure quality and reliability in all settings.

Inox tube - New Laser
We partnered with New Laser, a metal fabrication expert based in St. Vith, Belgium. Through this collaboration, we had the opportunity to revalorize a dead stock of 1,200 meters of unused stainless steel tubing, transforming surplus materials into integral elements of our designs and reducing waste and unnecessary CO2 emissions.

HPL panels - Trespa
In collaboration with Trespa, a Dutch leader in high-pressure laminate (HPL) panels, we upcycle materials that either don’t meet certification standards or are recovered from dismantled buildings.
Through their Trespa Second Life Program, which aims to recover and repurpose 300,000 square meters of panels by 2030, we gain access to a consistent supply of high-quality panels in various colors and thicknesses.
