Earth Stool is a circular bar stool designed by Danish architect Eva Harlou.

Earth Stool is the result of a new innovative waste-to-value technique that enables Mater to reuse companies’ industrial waste, e.g. plastic waste and other fibre-based materials.

The technique is developed in collaboration with Danish Technological Institute with support from the University of Copenhagen.

The waste materials are mixed in a unique compound suitable for press moulding – a method designed to reuse companies’ resources more efficiently.

Earth Stool represents classic Scandinavian design with steel frames that make the bar stool elegant and timeless.

The seats are made from upcycled industrial plastic waste from GROHE and coffee bean shells from BKI coffee or waste from Carlsberg’s beer production – the spent grain – mixed with post-industrial plastic waste.

The new ground-breaking production technique allows Mater to reuse waste materials and turn it into useful and unique design solutions.

Created to support a circular design thinking and the UN SDGs: “Responsible Consumption and Production” (SDGs 12), “Climate Action” (SDGs 13) and “Partnership for the Goals” (SDGs 17).

Mater

Mater is a Copenhagen design house that treats waste as a material rather than a problem.

The Conscious series is the clearest statement of it: tabletops pressed from industrial and agricultural waste into a surface that reads like terrazzo and wears like stone. The Ocean range is moulded from reclaimed plastic, in colours that only that process gives you. Elsewhere the thinking is older and simpler, the Bowl Table and the Lily lounge table turned from solid wood, the Shade and Liuku pendants built from very few parts.

It is a short catalogue for a brand this well known. Dining chairs and tables, coffee and side tables, stools, a handful of pendants and an outdoor bench, and very little of it is filler.
