GRO
Sustainable, recycled & flatpacked modular sofa
GRO is a modular sofa with a focus on social commitment, responsible materials, production and logistics. The foam is made from recycled mattresses and from bio-waste. The cushions and armrests are upholstered in the textile Tonus, which is wool and the EU Ecolabel. The frame is made of oak and the sofa has been given the intended comfort via natural latex rubber straps. GRO is a sustainable and innovative submission, as the sofa is designed with a focus on flatpacking, minimum material waste, comfort and sustainable materials. The sofa is modular, so it can easily be adapted to any home.
