We extend the range for Etage

Etage was initially launched at SFF 2023 as a recycling station that was designed to make the most of limited floor space. The station was built with carefully chosen materials and well-considered details that were intended to highlight source sorting and functionality rather than hide them. The environmental concept was incorporated throughout the design. Since its launch Etage has been recognized with the German Design Award 2024. Now the range is being expanded to include top-loading bins pots and new heights.

Background

As the world’s requirements for waste sorting increase it can be challenging to integrate unsightly and bulky containers. However many workplaces want to showcase their environmental commitments by emphasizing waste sorting. The project began with creating a beautiful wastebasket that maximizes functionality while occupying minimal floor space. The design work started from scratch with an analysis and questioning of the usual methods for solving the problem. Our solution involved carefully selecting materials and focusing on the height of the structure incorporating multiple stories.
