Six Norwegian Designers turn Salvaged Materials into Contemporary Lighting Designs

Members of the Norwegian design collective Fold Oslo have introduced Nytt Lys, a new collection of lighting pieces that explores the creative potential of found objects, discarded materials and locally sourced natural fibres.

This is the First Ever all Textile, Zero Adhesive, Recyclable Acoustic Room Divider

To further reduce environmental impact, only the outer textile is dyed and even then through digital printing, which minimizes water consumption and chemical waste.

Can this Carbon-Negative Foam made from Crop Waste Replace Polystyrene?

According to the company, every kg of the foam removes around 2kg of carbon from the atmosphere, making it not just non polluting but actively regenerative.

This Bamboo Pavilion Outperforms Steel and Timber; Eliminates 53 Tonnes of CO2 with Circular Construction

The pavilion is verified as carbon-negative from inception to completion. Its final embodied carbon footprint records a 110 per cent reduction compared to conventional building methods, meaning it avoids more emissions than it produces.

World’s First Carbon-Negative, Fully Recyclable Linoleum Flooring | Tarkett
