jose collection - mauricio arruda

jose collection is a family of storage furniture pieces produced out of materials and processes that achieve a more responsible environmental impact. the urban landscape produces plenty of material that goes overlooked and underused. by combining an archetype with available plastic containers, he created a transitory object that speaks to different levels- cultural and environmental.


the collection utilizes solid wooden sheets that carry the FSC seal (Forest Stewardship Council) and treating those sheets with a natural camauba wax without the use of solvent-based finishes keeps the material fresh. the piece is then completed by adding multi-colored plastic containers creating a humble, practical and dynamic piece.
