French company Furniture for Good is setting an example in the furniture industry by using innovative, eco-friendly materials. Their commitment to sustainability and circular design makes them a valuable resource for architects, interior designers, and product designers who are looking to create environmentally responsible designs.

Polystyrene: Versatile and Recycled
Furniture for Good transforms locally sourced recycled polystyrene into durable, waterproof, and flexible furniture. Sourced from the Île-de-France region and processed by Le Pavé (which you can find in our collection here), this material showcases a seamless blend of functionality and sustainability. With its robust properties and easy maintenance, polystyrene is a great choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its ability to mimic the finishes of other materials, like high-density polyethylene, further enhances its appeal for designers.

High-Density Polyethylene: Durable and Adaptable
Recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is another standout material in Furniture for Good’s portfolio. Known for its strength and resistance to wear, HDPE is particularly well-suited for demanding environments, such as outdoor or public spaces. Its thermoformable and water-resistant qualities make it a versatile option for furniture, while its locally sourced origins help reduce the environmental footprint. HDPE’s ability to imitate natural materials, such as wood, allows designers to incorporate it seamlessly into a variety of styles.

Recycled Shells: Nature Meets Innovation
Another innovative material that Furniture for Good uses is recycled shells. Waste from oysters, mussels, and scallops is transformed into a durable and visually stunning material. These shells, sourced from the Brittany region, combine natural beauty with strength, providing a unique option for creating sustainable and aesthetically striking designs. This material, made by OSTREA and MALAKIO (check our collection here), opens up new possibilities for eco-conscious designers looking to add a touch of nature to their work.

The Trinquet Range: Customisation and Sustainability
The Trinquet collection is Furniture for Good’s answer to modular, sustainable design. These fully customisable tables are perfect for designers looking to meet specific project needs. The range offers options for height, materials, and tabletop sizes, making it easy to adapt to different spaces and purposes. Each table incorporates approximately 9.8kg of recycled plastic, saving up to 16.7kg of CO₂ per unit, blending sustainability with practicality.

For Designers Who Care About the Future
Furniture for Good’s innovative materials and design philosophy offer exciting opportunities for architects, interior designers, and product designers. From durable outdoor furniture to bespoke, nature-inspired creations, their approach demonstrates how sustainability and design can go hand in hand.
