| Not too many years ago the use of plastics for home and office furniture and furnishings were mostly confined to groovy and garish one-piece molded chairs. Thankfully, the world turns, and the boundaries for designers have changed dramatically.
But it isn’t all about office chairs and stadium seats. The weird and wonderful world of Tom Dixon, the self-styled maverick designer, transforms spaghetti-type extrusions of Provista™ copolymer into beautiful, primitive bowls and tables, called Fresh Fat Plastic, that have become collector's items.
Eastman materials play their part in the whole range of furnishings from the groundbreaking to the mundane, providing compounds for coatings and waxes, supplying adhesives and creating the engineering polymers that make inspiration a reality. The designer just has to define the characteristics; we can supply the material that fits.
