January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Atelier des Refusés, known for its decorative pillows, has partnered with Stratasys to launch a new collection called ‘Biodiversity.’ Inspired by the uniqueness of mushrooms, this collection aims to celebrate biodiversity and the role mushrooms play in the natural regeneration process and terrestrial ecosystems.
The pair of companies share common ground in their commitment to sustainability. Atelier des Refusés, named after the historic Parisian Salon des Refusés, aims to give value to the concept of waste by using quality fabrics to create unique decorative cushions, the company reports.
“For us at AdR the concept of uniqueness is a keyword, because we move away from mass production and quantity, to follow craftsmanship and limited production,” the company reports.
The 3D printing technology provided by Stratasys ensures a sustainable, exclusive, and high-quality product with no production waste, according to Stratasys.
“When we met Stratasys, the world leader in the 3D printing sector, it was love at first sight for us: it is a cutting-edge company that allows us to add further exceptionality to our cushions, and this happens in harmony with some of our priority values such as uniqueness and zero waste,” reports Atelier des Refusés.
The velvet fabrics for the Biodiversity 3D printed pillow collection are supplied by C&C Milano and Christian Fischbacher. Atelier des Refusés collaborates with textile companies to repurpose “waste” materials, or fabric pieces too small for commercial use, promoting a circular economy approach.
The Biodiversity collection will be on display at the new flagship store of Breitling, a Swiss watch manufacturer and partner for Milan Design Week. The cushions are available for purchase at Atelier des Refusés’ website.
