This was a project that challenged us to design a piece of furniture using recycled plastic and wood, with the plastic supplied as a rigid 1 × 1 meter sheet, 1 cm thick—a constraint that became central to the concept.

Rather than disguising this limitation, we approached it literally by allowing the materials to physically intersect, using the flat plastic sheet as a structural and visual plane within a three-dimensional object. A simple slat-based construction was developed to translate the planar material into a functional form.

The final outcome is a stool, assembled using metal rods that pass through both the wooden slats and the plastic sheet, secured with hex nuts. The exposed fastening system emphasizes the industrial character of the piece while clearly expressing its construction logic and material honesty.
