The creative reuse of material waste from production – that which would otherwise end up in a landfill – inspired the Italian brand Adrenalina’s Salone del Mobile 2024 exhibition earlier this year, where the company introduced four furniture collections. The Agorà space was designed as a communal square of sorts, a place to rethink collective spaces, creativity, and sharing.
Agorà can be categorized as “temporary circular architecture,” highlighting Adrenalina’s dedication to ethics and environmental responsibility through minimizing the production of waste using circular economy practices. The brand’s designers and art directors, Debonademeo Studio, created colonnades and porticoes from the cardboard tubes seating fabric is rolled around. Destined for the trash, they find new value as architectural materials. The new collections, designed for homes, offices, museums, and hotels, were presented on the space’s simple concrete floor, taking further initiative towards creating less waste.

North Light by Vladislav Tolochko
Vladislav Tolochko’s North Light modular table takes a cue from the beguiling aurora borealis and the phenomenon’s ever-changing, undulating color composition. Soft curves and a gently shifting palette captures the magic and translates the beauty into something more tangible.
