The Goods: Circular Surfaces

Translucent Collection | The Good Plastic Company

The Good Plastic Company has launched their new Translucent Collection, which is the latest addition to the Polygood line of 100 per cent recycled and recyclable plastic panels. In the case (pun intended) of this collection, the plastic is sourced from clear CD cases, and enhanced with vibrant accents from industrial tubes, spools, acoustic panels, and single-use cutlery. Product patterns range from neutrals to neons and are available in two thickness options and glossy and matte finishes. The panels are suitable for various applications, from retail stores to hotels, universities, and workplaces.

“With the Translucent Collection, we are pushing the boundaries of what recycled materials can achieve,” said Dr. William Chizhovsky, CEO and founder of the Good Plastic Company. “More than just a design element, Polygood is a structural and scalable solution. Each pattern tells a story, embodying our mission to elevate sustainable materials to new heights.”

Bloom | Slalom

This sound-absorbing wall system showcases a commitment to sustainability through its novel use of plant-based and regenerated materials. Crafted from a unique mix of flax, bio-based fibers, and recycled plastic, Bloom highlights the beauty of grasses, petals and flowers sourced from agricultural land that is “resting,” according to traditional cultivation practices, and free of chemical additives. The system’s seasonal mix of herbs and flowers means surfaces can have an appearance unique to that harvest. Treated at high temperatures, the flowers retain their fragrance and lose their allergens.

Bloom’s installation techniques also score high on the clever quotient: its Velcro attachment allows for easy assembly, removal, and reuse, making it adaptable and sustainable. Bloom embodies “acousthetics,” a neologism coined by Slalom to summarize the combination of acoustic comfort, ethics and aesthetics, aligning with the growing trend of botanical-inspired interior design. Integrating innovation with ecological principles, Bloom transforms spaces into living artworks while enhancing sound quality.
