The Interactive Creature

Australia's coffee industry produces over 3,000 tonnes of waste yearly, exacerbating global warming with landfill emissions. Melbourne feels this through hotter weather, bushfires, and rising sea levels.

Our studio has been transforming coffee by-products into eco-friendly materials for furniture and lighting since 2015. Our Triplo series is a venture into upcycling coffee waste, featuring a coffee table that embodies process and cultural unity. This piece pairs the refined finish of brass with the textured coffee grounds, reflecting a contemporary design ethos. Locally made in Melbourne, we sun-dry coffee grounds from cafes and combine them with bio-resin to mold our distinctive tables, with each piece uniquely textured for a personal touch.
