B.S.P. stands for By-product, Solvent and Plastic — a name inspired by the B.L.T. club sandwich, and a list of the three materials behind this series. It started with a question: how can the plastic by-products of design work be recycled?
The answer came from the plastic flakes left over from prototyping with CNC machining and 3D printing. Testing solvents, plastic types and reaction times in a physical chemistry lab, the maker found that a specific plastic melts in organic solvents after a certain time, and that small flakes and failed prototype parts dissolve easily thanks to their large surface area. Larger discarded pieces became a recycled plastic plate.
Bonded with by-products, plastic designed for mass production becomes a handcrafted material. When the solvent evaporates the form sets, creating objects reminiscent of spilled cheese, and the process can be applied to various shapes and colors.
As a uniquely handmade piece, the table should be handled with the utmost care, especially around its protruding texture. For indoor use only.
