Jää - a Finnish word for both ice and ‘please stay’.The inspiration for this bench / seating came from the beautiful and practical nature of recycled plastic and its environmentally friendly credentials. The white color of this material made us think about melting slushy snow and ice. The black made us think of the ground, and how dark it looks once the snow melts and exposes the soil after a long winter.Made with a mixture of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastic with small aluminium spacers and nuts, the Jää bench is fully recyclable. The PE and PP plastic shapes are 100% recycled post-consumer plastic i.e. pure waste that has been diverted from landfills. Through the design and the use of materials, we wanted to show that recycled furniture can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Jää is a multi-functional yet ambiguous design suitable for both indoors and outdoors in public and private spaces.The bench is made to order, in any size. The benches featured in this listing measure approx 113 cm x 39 cm x 39 cm. Please note, that the recycled plastic has blemishes and scratches to the finish as it is an industrial standard building material. Plastic is available in black only.
