In our design and production processes, we are always looking at where environmental thinking and economic improvement intersect - resulting in minimal waste in every aspect. The way we utilise PET Technology, emphasizes this vision.
The PET Felt we use is made out of used PET plastic - the production of PET Felt starts with collected plastics.
The collected plastics are then sorted and made to soft fibers. By blending different colours, you can in- or decrease the colour intensity of the material.
A large weaving machine extracts the raw fibers and begins weaving thin layers of felt.

Large and thick sheets of PET felt are placed in a mould of the Pod and pressed in shape.

We believe PET Technology is one of the answers to ecological sustainability and environmental quality requirements in contemporary interior design.
3 key facts:
- 1: PET it is a solution to a safe working environment. PET does not emit dangerous off gasses such as formaldehyde.
- 2: It is a face finished product, pin-able, slim and it can be used as a double sided or a single sided panel, giving it the desirable benefit of fitting into slim-line framing systems
- 3: Many workstations and wall panel solutions are using a substrate such as MDF, which is in turn wrapped in a foam backed fabric or complicated again to include pin-able materials. This results in a time consuming, costly construction and a workstation size that is unnecessarily thick. PET offers a sustainable, environmental friendly and economically attractive solution.
