Stussy

Hextable
recycled cardboard

Designed by Wilson Brothers for Stussy, Hextable is an occasional table made from two identical components that is folded and locked into place. Fully recyclable, the honeycomb core table is incredibly light at 1.2kg, yet strong structurally.

Hextable is comissioned for Stussy Japan, after the success of the limited edition Stussy Chairfix created for the Stussy store in London. The product is hand screen printed in London with a Stussy pattern.

Bloxes

Bloxes

Bloxes are building blocks made of interlocking pieces of corrugated cardboard, folded together. They are connected with each other on all six sides and can be used to construct benches, tables, tunnels, even walls. Their unique shape and structure make them exceptionally strong and lightweight.

How to build Bloxes

Bloxes measure 9½" square when assembled; a pack of 20 will create a 4-by-5 blox wall of approximately 36" by 45". Sold in quantities of 20, the unassembled bloxes fit in a 15" square box for easy shipping. We think they make great screen and partitions!

Flexible Love


FlexibleLove™ 16
64cm x 56cm x 22.5cm(Collapsed)/720cm(Extended), recycled materials (post-consumer recycled paper and post-industrial recycled wood)

I watched the designers of Flexible Love present their product on a Taiwanese variety show and really wish to share! The Flexible Love concept is an accordian, honeycomb structure, which can be stretched to seat as many as sixteen individuals. Made entirely from recycled materials the seating uses pre-existing production processes to reduce environmental impact during manufacture. currently, Flexible Love comes in 3 sizes that seats 16, 12 and 2. Excluding the miniaturised version. See the video below for the varieties of the system.
