Modern craftsmanship is no longer just about preserving traditional techniques—it is about redefining our relationship with materials.

The RE:MATTER side table or stool transforms post-consumer plastic waste into a functional interior element.
Each piece pairs distinct marbled textures with an intuitive flat-pack assembly designed for circular living.

Lighting that doesn’t demand attention, but naturally holds it. 💡

The Oval Wall Lamp collection was designed around a simple duality: clean, restrained geometry paired with a colourful, expressive surface. Handrcrafted entirely from 100% post-consumer plastic waste, each lamp transforms discarded material into a lasting piece of art for the home. ♻

Our zero waste manufacturing process ensures nothing goes to waste—we even repurpose CNC cutouts and studio offcuts from secondary runs into fresh, vibrant panels. Because of how the recycled material flows during processing, every lamp carries its own subtle, unrepeatable pattern. 🎨

Designed to seamlessly adapt to your space: position it as a soft reading light, arrange a pair to frame a doorway, or as a bedside wall lamps.

Vavakada RE - sustainable living, without aesthetic compromise.

Day 6: The Clock
One of the core principles at Vavakada RE is ensuring nothing gets wasted.
When designing the side table, the goal was to give every single part of the panel a functional purpose. While one circle became the tabletop, the remaining circle was transformed into a clock.
A wide variety of color combinations have been developed, and glimpses of those options will be shared soon.

Day 5: The Bar Stool

Today is World Environment Day, a fitting moment to highlight the core philosophy behind Vavakada RE. The mission centers on manifesting the vital importance of recycling by proving that household waste is not the end of a material's life, but the beginning of something valuable. By transforming discarded plastic into high-end interior elements, the goal is to shift perceptions and turn environmental responsibility into tangible, functional art.

To mark this day, the focus is on a unique collaboration with industrial designer Boris Taushanov. This bar stool reinterprets coastal aesthetics through a distinct experiment in industrial design, turning 20 kg of plastic waste into a monolithic, ergonomic sculpture.

Manufacturing a single stool repurposes approximately 7,500 household bottle caps. Inspired by the soft lines of nature, the design relies on the total moisture resistance of the material, making it perfectly suited for the specific atmosphere of seaside spaces.

The piece features fluid, organic lines and a sculptural base that balances an industrial feel with natural forms. The construction is exceptionally sturdy and designed for efficient flat-pack transport. This handcrafted bar stool serves as a manifesto for new craftsmanship, where functional design is directly tied to environmental consideration.

Day 4
Of showing the world how we transform plastic waste into stunning interior elements.
Today I decided to show you the two ways we close the loop in our manufacturing process. Zero waste is deeply rooted in the philosophy of Vavakada RE.
The first part of the carousel shows how we collect the dust from the cnc cutting with a vacuum cleaner and after we collect enough for one panel we make it. Each panel is absolutely unique. Like a piece of art. :)

The second part show another technique which we made just for fun but it ended up like a very cool idea.
It reminds us about the mosaic floors from the Bulgarian mid century architecture period. By the way if you find the mosaic panels inspiring, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
