A CIRCULAR PROCESS

Organic Origin

Wood by-products and timber waste are collected, shredded and transformed into paper pulp, to be used for the realization of kraft paper.

From Paper to Catifa Carta

The kraft paper is impregnated with a 100% biogenic hemicellulose based binder from agro-waste streams or pulp and paper production. The impregnated substrates are stacked, pressed and cut into the shell of Catifa Carta.

Biochar Carbon Locking

At the end of its life, the shell of Catifa Carta is transformed into stable biochar through pyrolysis, a low oxygen burning process that prevents carbon from being released into the atmosphere. When mixed with soil, it becomes a home for mycelium and microbes to create new life.

Closing the Loop

The biochar can be used as a soil enhancement and, in combination with mycelium and microbes, used as soil for regenerative reforestation and agriculture projects to promote biodiversity.

COMFORT

The freestanding sofa is ideal for all spaces where a true experience of comfort and relaxation is sought.

VERSATILITY

Steeve Lou is composed of 2–3-seater modules that can be enriched by end side tables, ottomans and laptop cushions, which allow to further warm the environment and increase its functionality.
