Projects

PET-MAT is a scientific team focused on supporting the recycling process of plastics and its propagation. Two projects are currently being developed by PET-MAT.

The PET(b)rick project is a rather scientific study of the usability of bottles and their ability to carry loads, where the carrying medium is air. The goal is to design a special shape of the bottle so that it would form a brick.

The PETree project is focused on public propagation of sorting the waste by building a hollow Christmas tree with an exhibition space inside.

PET(ch)air

Special seat was constructed from PET(b)rick 1.0. This prototype was functionally exhibited at the EXPO 2015 in Milano from 15th of May till 25th of October. From 3 pieces of furniture we expanded on 17 pieces of PET(ch)air. The boxes had 0,45m in all directions. They were originally enlightened by lights from IKEA. Next version…
