Creating desirable tabletops from waste

Kvadrat Really’s Textile Tabletop™ is based on post-consumer textile waste.

The Kvadrat Really Textile Tabletop™ is a new low emission, upcycled tabletop, a 100% circular product which is directly applicable with no need for additional surface and edge treatment. The proposition targets the furniture industry and offers a plug and play product, finished or semi-finished, in sizes fitting the industry norm for workspace tabletops.

An answer to a global resource and textile waste crisis, the Textile Tabletop™ meets the circular and aesthetic parameters of the Kvadrat Really product portfolio. It reduces CO2 emissions significantly, from an average 50 kg of CO2 for a conventional tabletop to 13 kg of CO2 for a Textile Tabletop™.

The creation of the product uses responsible processes. The binder used in the product is 20% second generation BICO plastic from waste streams and 10% bio-binder from waste feedstock. Production takes place in Denmark and is 100% sustainable-powered, based on mechanical recycling and using no water. The product’s colour is created from the colours of the waste.

The characteristic of the material allows multiple usage and fits new and existing table frames. This allows clients to underpin the Kvadrat Really no-waste concept in both new products and in refurbished products. Using aesthetics and a creative approach, they have managed to make their tabletop irresistible.
