Last month at Vinçon?s, the Zig-Zag caught our eye. It?s a bottle rack that at first seems just grey but when you get to know it better you realise it?s actually green. That?s because it?s made from Syntrewood, a 100% recycled and recyclable material that?s not only ecological but also low-cost. Syntrewood is a product of the Spanish company Lasentiu, who use discarded material from urban plastic waste collection (the yellow containers here in Spain) that would otherwise end up as landfill or be burnt. So with 85-90% of Polyolefin (from bottle caps, bags or detergent bottles) and 10-15% paper, board, fabric, PET and aluminium such as from Tetra-bricks, Lasentiu created Syntrewood, a plastic material free from PVC that is ?water-repellent, unchangeable to environmental conditions and non toxic?. Apart from the simple V-shaped modular bottle rack Zig-Zag that fits different sizes of bottles horizontally, Lasentiu have also designed a series of chairs, component seats, stackable boxes, drawer units and other storage systems that allow for easily assembly and your own distribution. Maybe it is too grey for your living room but will do nicely in any workshop, cellar or garden shed. ::Lasentiu
