STORY OF THE MATERIALS

AIRBAG FABRIC

Designed to save lives, this high tech material is sourced from factory end rolls trashed during airbag production. Diverting a single square foot of airbag fabric saves 26.5 lbs CO2 from entering the atmosphere. Airbag fabric is silicon coated nylon, which makes it incredibly durable for outdoor use, and easy cleaning.

STREET POLE BANNER VINYL

These advertising banners are made from polyester and polyvinyl that is typically thrown in a landfill after a single use. Each 3 pound street pole banner diverts 45 tablespoons of plastic getting into the soil and water. Saving and upcycling these materials directly impacts our health. The vinyl is virtually indestructible, super easy to clean, and makes the perfect durable bottom for the outdoor furniture pieces.

AUTOMOTIVE NYLON

This high density nylon fabric is used for the interior pillows when we stuff them for you. This fabric is automotive factory discard, originally used for out-of-sight linings. It’s tough, lightweight and machine washable.

THREAD

We upcycle thread from a large factory that discards ¼ spools at shift changes to keep work flow at maximum efficiency.

STUFFING

Stuffed with foam scraps from the mattress / furniture industry. This material is synthetic, non-biodegradable, and not recyclable. Because it’s shredded and lightweight, it’s particularly harmful for the oceans and waterways. It’s soft, lightweight and puffs up, making it a great upcycled stuffing for our furniture.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

We have been playing with the idea of home goods for years (coming from our background in architecture). Our upcycled materials are durable, waterproof, and stain resistant, qualities that make wonderful furniture and upholstery, especially for outdoor use. When the global pandemic hit, our business changed. We felt uncomfortable selling bags to people in quarantine, and took a beat to reflect on our mission and vision of diverting trash from landfill, and changing the way we see trash.  Our outdoor furniture line started with the "Stuff Yourself" pouf, and grew to include a soft chair and ottoman, all made from our amazing upcycled materials. We hope you love it as much as we do :)
