The B.S.P. series began as research into how to recycle plastic by-products. Its name borrows from the B.L.T. club sandwich and stands for By-product, Solvent and Plastic — the three materials used to make it.
Working as an industrial designer, the maker focused on the plastic flakes generated while creating prototypes through CNC machining and 3D printing. In a physical chemistry lab, they tested different amounts of solvent, types of plastic and reaction times, discovering that a specific plastic melts in organic solvents after a particular duration. With their large surface area, tiny flakes and small parts from failed prototypes dissolve easily in minimal solvent, while discarded larger pieces were made into a recycled plastic plate.
The process reinterprets plastic made for mass production as a handcrafted material, bonded with by-products. As the solvent evaporates, the piece solidifies into forms reminiscent of spilled cheese — a new aesthetic that can be applied to various shapes and colors.
Each B.S.P. piece is uniquely handmade and should be handled with the utmost care; take particular care not to bump the protruding texture. For indoor use only.
