Crust Crust Crust is collection of objects made from industrial waste of cellular foam.
The material is delivered to factories in large, bulky blocks. Before it can be processed and used for various applications, the irregular material on the surface, which has rough edges, must first be removed.

These wastes are called “crusts.” Their flexibility prevents them from being crushed for recycling, and the wide variety of thicknesses and colors complicates standardized reuse.

This series of objects uses properties of the material and transform them in objects and furniture:
- flexibility into seatings, colors and souplness in lampshades, and thermal and acoustic insulation properties into rugs and wall tapistery.
