It’s time to make a change and opt for eco-friendly furniture! Say goodbye to toxic chemicals and hello to sustainable, stylish pieces.

Introducing our 136 sample collection, made from post-consumer plastic!

When we think of the circular economy, we often imagine an infinite loop where our plastic bottles get converted into new bottles of the same quality. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Most recycling is actually “downcycling”, which means that the quality of the materials is degraded and used in ever worse products with each cycle until they can no longer be recycled and are thrown away.

Sancal’s sample Book 136 is different, made entirely from post-consumer plastic which has been “upcycled” high grade fabric. With excellent anti-abrasion properties, it will last for years. And when, finally, it must be replaced, it can be recycled all over again.

Apt for the most demanding spaces, the fabric is also designed to keep you safe. It is fire retardant meeting the stringent BS5852 Crib 5 test as well as European and US regulations and is ideal for maritime projects requiring IMO certification. Often, recycled products present a tradeoff between the reuse of resources and the control of harmful compounds. This is often compounded yet further by fire retardants. Sample Book 136 is unique. It provides all the upsides while still obtaining Oeko-tex certification, guaranteeing that it is non-toxic.

All of this comes in a distinctive design, with each thread meticulously intertwined to craft an intricate mesh. Dark tones imbue depth and solidity, while subtle contrasts in lighter hues bestow a sophisticated sheen. Despite its delicate appearance, this fabric exudes formidable strength, seamlessly blending elegance and functionality.
