3. Re-Mat – via IAMMI - Ecofoam.
Ecofoam is a new material composed of 100% recycled polyurethane foam.
These recycled foam bricks were commissioned by IAMMI for the exhibition, ‘Nothing Happens if Nothing Happens’ at Bargehouse, Oxo Tower, London. They were produced by the Italian startup Re-Mat, encapsulating the essence of a ‘soft city’ while integrating the principles of regeneration.
With a focus on foundations, the installation embraced sustainable design practices, while seeking to craft an engaging and immersive experience.
Ecofoam serves as a testament to the potential of recycled materials and sustainable design practices to shape a more harmonious and regenerative urban environment.
