For his Contourage console table, Johan Wilén, designer and co-founder of Stockholm-based Studio TOOJ, worked with Germany’s Sandhelden, an expert in sustainable 3D printing methods. Along with locally sourced quartz sand, the manufacturer uses furan-based binders that are derived from corn husks, rice hulls, sugarcane and other biomaterials.
To further lessen its overall material consumption, the vivid cobalt-blue console is printed as a hollow structure and finished by hand to retain a rugged texture.
