World’s First Carbon Negative Furniture Design Unveiling
Los Angeles, California: Pollima, the world’s first carbon-negative furniture company, is unveiling designs for their premier products: a dining table and chairs. These products are industry-leading from a sustainability standpoint while also incorporating gorgeous design elements and durable construction. The table and chairs take on a beautiful Scandanavian-inspired design and they’re built to last—made of recycled metal and a highly pressurized hemp byproduct, which is actually more durable than wood. Pollima will unveil their carbon negative furniture designs this Wednesday, January the 20th in their newsletter and on their website.
The process is a revolution in furniture manufacturing:
The byproduct is pressed with 170 tons of pressure to make a new material that is more durable than wood, so your furniture will last generations - without harming a single tree.
The proprietary material is completely biodegradable and uses no resin, no plastic, no trees, and the production is waste-free.
These tables and chairs trap the carbon present in the otherwise discarded hemp biomass, preventing it from reentering the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide through decay or incineration.
Designed in New York by Zac Feltoon, the designs reflect the natural biology and ethos of turning waste into beauty. Pollima’s mission is to change processes of production and consumption, with a focus on working with nature rather than against it. “I was inspired by the concept of low impact,” Says Feltoon, “so I designed the table to evoke the classic shape of sailboat hulls which glide seamlessly through water with little resistance.”
The founder and CEO sees beauty and profit where others see stuff to send to the landfill. “I realized that the ever-growing cannabis industry has byproducts that we could turn into elevated and nuanced designs - while creating an example for the circular economy in the US” says Pollima CEO Ardilla Deneys.
Pollima will begin pre-orders on Indiegogo later this year.
