Terrazzo-like table brings electronic waste to life with closed-loop design - Yanko Design
Briefly

Joe Doucet's OLO Table addresses the electronic waste crisis, integrating sustainability through innovative design. Constructed from discarded electronic materials, particularly Polygood Oyster made from recycled polystyrene, the table showcases a unique, colorful design that tells the story of its past life. With its fluid geometry and minimalist aesthetic, it embodies the principles of closed-loop design, making the OLO Table not only functional but also a statement piece that highlights the importance of repurposing waste into artful objects.
"The inherent beauty of Polygood lies in its composition. The recycling process leaves behind a captivating tapestry of colorful flecks and fragments, remnants of the electronics from which it originated."
"Once harvested, the polystyrene undergoes a process of thermoforming, where heat and pressure are applied to shape it into the desired forms, in this case, the table's base."
