"DURAT is a solid polyester based material used for custom made surfaces in
public and private interiors. It contains recycled plastics and is itself 100%
recyclable."
If you visit DURAT website this is
their key sentece; they work with recycled plastics and propose a collections of
objects and interior design elements targeted to restaurants, cafes, shops,
hospitals, laboratories, boats and ships, bathrooms and
kitchens.
This
DURAT material is very resistent and it is possible to renew it just by sanding
slightly the surface, they also applied a "soft touch" to the exterior surface
and brilliant colors, too.
It is the best mix for designers
that intend to use this material and extend its use respecting the environment
designing "clean and green".
Some more info : DURAT is
a privately owned company, established in 1990 and it is located in Rymättylä,
in the beautiful archipelago of southwestern Finland.
I encourage you to visit
their website at durat.com to learn more about this company,
to me it offers a real opportunity to designer's community but mainly to our
planet!
