Wave bench – A Circular, Sculpted Rethink of Seating

ECONOR Design Tervezö Kft.

Description

Wave bench is an experiment in what circular furniture can look and feel like. Instead of treating recycled materials as hidden structural matter, the project builds its identity around them: a 100% recycled rigid PUR foam core, recycled comfort foam, and an upholstery fabric made from repurposed PET bottles. Every layer supports a closed-loop design ambition—long-lasting, repairable, and fully recyclable after use.

Formally, Wave challenges the idea that a seat must be flat. Its subtly shifting topography—higher here, lower there—creates a comfortable resting surface for users of different ages and body types. This gentle wave-like motion is what gives the bench its name and its character: soft in appearance, stable in function.

The piece is modular and easily scalable. Thanks to precision foam-cutting technology, Wave can be produced in custom widths and lengths, allowing it to form linear arrangements, curved compositions, or playful clusters in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its shape invites interaction, its rhythm encourages flow.

Wave began as an outdoor prototype driven by material durability tests, but quickly evolved into a broader family of indoor and outdoor elements—all sharing the same sculptural geometry and circular material palette. Accessories and connector pieces are currently in development to further expand its lounge-space functionality.

Wave is not just a bench. It is a proposal for how recycled materials can lead to new geometries, new tactile qualities, and a new visual language for sustainable furniture.

SnugSpot armchair: Sustainable Comfort Reimagined

SnugSpot armchair: Sustainable Comfort Reimagined

Introducing SnugSpot, a unique lounge chair and footstool set designed for ultimate comfort and sustainability. Every element of this piece has been crafted exclusively from recycled materials, making it a statement not just in design, but in responsible living. At the heart of the SnugSpot lies a high-quality recycled PUR foam, a material developed through a Hungarian-patented recycling process. This innovative technique allows us to cut the foam precisely to shape and upholster it, creating a chair that is both ergonomically supportive and visually striking.

The SnugSpot’s design is inspired by nature, with organic curves that echo the smooth forms of polished river stones. The ergonomic structure ensures proper support for both spine and legs, while the footstool complements the chair’s silhouette, creating a cohesive and inviting set. The chair’s lines are soft yet confident, designed to welcome you into a moment of relaxation while making a bold design statement.

Beyond form and function, the SnugSpot embodies Econor Design’s commitment to circular design principles. Each layer of the chair, from the recycled foam core to the upholstery, contributes to a closed-loop approach: long-lasting, repairable, and fully recyclable at the end of its life. The project also explores the potential of fully custom fabrics, giving the set a unique identity where the textile itself can be an original artwork.

While the SnugSpot is a substantial piece and will not be on display at the booth, visitors can request more information and speak directly with the designer about its features, production, and sustainable philosophy.

Discover a piece where innovation meets comfort, and sustainability meets design — the SnugSpot is more than a chair; it’s a vision for a future where furniture is both beautiful and responsible.

BABÁK Collection – Hand-crafted Objects from Reclaimed Materials

BABÁK Collection – Hand-crafted Objects from Reclaimed Materials

The BABÁK collection is a series of hand-crafted side tables made from reclaimed shipping-container pallets. These industrial hardwood elements are first block-pressed, then turned on a lathe to achieve their final sculptural forms. The name BABÁK means little babies in Hungarian, referring to the rounded, friendly silhouettes inspired by the Mathuka dolls familiar from socialist-era childhoods. Their soft, character-like proportions give each piece a warm, approachable presence.

The collection consists of five tables, each with distinct proportions yet sharing the same visual language. Every piece features an integrated stone top repurposed from discarded kitchen countertops. This durable surface is heat-resistant, making the tables functional companions for everyday use—even a hot cup of coffee can be placed on them without hesitation.

The finishing process highlights the handmade nature of the objects. The blue tint is achieved by mixing mineral pigments into orange oil, applied carefully by hand. Subtle traces of the maker’s fingerprints remain visible, celebrating craftsmanship and the individuality of each piece.

Through the combination of reclaimed materials, artisanal techniques, and nostalgic cultural references, the BABÁK collection explores how design can be both sustainable and emotionally resonant—objects that carry stories, memories, and a distinctly human touch.

  • Dimensions: 280 × 280 × 450 mm

  • Material: solid wood, recycled kitchen top

  • Finish: food-safe wood oil
