Refurbishment

Refurbish existing furniture with our circular materials CoolLeather, CoolCork, CoolJeans or Econcrete. Award-winning examples of finishings that integrate waste from the local leather, cork and textile recycling industries.

Over the past decades, society has embraced beautiful and timeless interior design. However, these designs were not built to last, leading to 11 billion kilograms of furniture being discarded in the EU each year. Circular solutions like reupholstering are costly and inefficient, while recycling remains highly complex – only 10% of furniture in the EU is actually recycled. Upholstery processes generate significant waste: old fabric is discarded (hopefully for recycling), new upholstery results in 25% to 45% offcuts, and many furniture pieces are nearly impossible to disassemble, as they contain an average of 20 to 30 different materials.

Circularity index of ~93%

Used tabletops, old chairs, worn sofas, cabinets, and acoustic panels can be transformed with a fresh look and feel. Cooloo’s sustainable materials offer the perfect solution. Restore and repair the furniture, polish the frame, and apply a new layer made from waste materials. The result? A product that feels as good as new – ready for a second life and suitable for an Endless Life®.
