Atelier SOHN’s B.S.P. series turns the plastic waste of the design process into art furniture. The initials stand for By-product, Solvent and Plastic, borrowing the rhythm of the B.L.T. club sandwich, and this side table is part of the series’ Black Edition.
The work began with the plastic flakes produced while prototyping with CNC machining and 3D printing. Experiments in a physical chemistry lab with different solvents, plastics and reaction times showed that a specific plastic melts in organic solvents after a set duration. Tiny flakes and failed prototype parts dissolve in very little solvent thanks to their large surface area, and larger discards were made into a recycled plastic plate.
Bonded with by-products, plastic intended for mass production is reinterpreted as a handcrafted material; as the solvent evaporates, it sets into shapes reminiscent of spilled cheese.
Uniquely handmade, the table should be handled with the utmost care, particularly around its protruding texture. For indoor use only.
Customization is available on request.
