English architect Thomas Heatherwick and Magis reunite to push back the boundaries of sustainable design and plastic materials. A blend of innovation and creative daring, their new outdoor furniture collection is made from recycled plastic waste. Named ''In-Side'', this collection turns recycling into a true aesthetic experience.
Thomas Heatherwick explains: ''In a world grappling with the consequences of plastic pollution, the idea behind this new collection is to use waste materials and reveal their inner beauty in unexpected ways. Recycling doesn't have to be less beautiful, it can enable the emergence of joyful, energetic forms.''
It was by rotationally molding two types of recycled plastic - post-consumer polyethylene and post-industrial polyethylene into multicolored flakes - that Thomas Heatherwick and his team discovered the multiple possibilities of this blend. If the plain exterior appeared conventional, once opened it revealed an interior similar to "the inner complexities of a geode".
Endowed with a dual personality, In-Side furniture contains a secret life... In-Side is characterized by a fascinating contrast between the sober, monochrome exterior and the interior, which reveals an explosion of color. The irregular, multicolored pattern evokes a splash of paint or a shower of confetti. The inner surface is made of multicolored Polyethylene flakes from post-industrial waste. Each piece is unique, with color and pattern varying slightly from one to the next.
Material: polyethylene containing post-consumer recycled material (30%).
Multicolored side flakes in recycled polyethylene obtained from industrial waste.
Suitable for outdoor use.
Each piece is unique due to the mix of lateral colours.

Established by Thomas Heatherwick in 1994, Heatherwick Studio is recognized for its work in architecture, urban infrastructure, sculpture, design and strategic thinking. Today a team of 160, including architects, designers and makers work from a combined studio and workshop in Kings Cross, London. At the heart of the studio’s work is a profound commitment to finding innovative design solutions, with a dedication to artistic thinking and the latent potential of materials and craftsmanship. This is achieved through a working methodology of collaborative rational inquiry, undertaken in a spirit of curiosity and experimentation. In the twenty years of its existence, Heatherwick Studio has worked in many countries, with a wide range of commissioners and in a variety of regulatory environments. Through this experience, the studio has acquired a high level of expertise in the design and realisation of unusual projects, with a particular focus on the large scale. The studio’s work includes a number of nationally significant projects for the UK, such as the award-winning UK Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010, the Olympic Cauldron for the London 2012 Olympic Games, and the New Bus for London. Thomas is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects; a Senior Research Fellow at the Victoria & Albert Museum; and has been awarded Honorary Doctorates from the Royal College of Art, University of Dundee, University of Brighton, Sheffield Hallam University and University of Manchester. He has won the Prince Philip Designers Prize, and, in 2004, was the youngest practitioner to be appointed a Royal Designer for Industry. In 2010, Thomas was awarded the RIBA Lubetkin Prize and the London Design Medal in recognition of his outstanding contribution to design. In 2013 Thomas was awarded a CBE for his services to the design industry.
