LinoPulpo is an eco-conscious composite material made from pulped linoleum, jute, and repurposed cotton canvas, all sourced from recycled Forbo Flooring Systems linoleum waste. The material includes cork flour-based and wood flour-based linoleum, combining sustainable elements into a versatile and durable product.
The linoleum used is a natural, non-toxic material made from tree rosin and linseed oil, known for its environmental benefits. Wet moulding and pressing techniques allow LinoPulpo to take on various shapes, densities, and textures, making it ideal for a range of indoor applications, including sound panels, furniture, and decorative elements.
LinoPulpo’s colour and texture vary depending on the recycled materials used, adding a unique and organic aesthetic to each piece. It can also be upholstered by felting textile fibres directly into the surface. This variability reflects the material’s sustainable nature, optimizing the use of available resources and reducing waste.
Key Features:
- Sustainability: Made from 100% recycled linoleum waste, jute, and cotton canvas, supporting a circular economy.
- Durability: Natural linoleum oxidizes and becomes stiffer over time LinoPulpo can be re-wetted and moulded when needed.
- Versatility: Moulded and pressed for custom shapes, densities, and finishes, perfect for sound panels, furniture, and decor.
- Eco-friendly: Non-toxic, biodegradable materials.
- Unique Aesthetic: Colour and texture vary based on available recycled materials, and processing methods.
LinoPulpo is a sustainable, functional, and adaptable material that offers designers a unique solution for eco-conscious projects without compromising on style or performance.
