Projects
Novo Nordisk
Novo Nordisk's Bangkok office takes a floor of Sathorn Square, with Stelapop in two colourways across the staff dining area: Indigo on the round tables, and Starch on the pantry counter. Stelapop is a versatile material and this project took advantage of this with two different approaches. The tables were made at 20mm thickness and supplied complete with their bases, finished off site rather than assembled in place. The counter is Starch, a near white, made of 5mm sheets with curved ends. The thickness of the counter was created by bending a strip and joining it to the top, a practical way to construct a larger counter. This carries the surface down the face so the counter reads as a thick solid slab. The denim is offcut from jeans production at Saitex and makes up 70 per cent of each panel. The binder is water based, with no formaldehyde, no silica, and no VOC content.

Howzit Bar
Beer & Grill Howzit runs over two floors under the elevated railway at Sannomiya station in Kobe, part of the EKIZO complex. Stelapop, our recycled denim panel, is used here in two colours: Woad along the main bar, and customised Chambray on the round tables. The Woad bar is finished with a multi-layer matte lacquer to give it long term durability in the demanding bar environment. The rich detail of the material brings a natural but soft feeling to the customers sat at the bar. The round tables in the booths use a bespoke Chambray, made to order with the addition of some brightly coloured terrazzo style flecks. Each panel is 70 per cent reclaimed denim, the offcuts left over from cutting jeans at Saitex. That is about 14kg of textile waste per panel, the equivalent of roughly 35 pairs.
