Alder Stool

The Alder Stool by Patricia Urquiola is made in biodegradable Matek in a mix of biodegradable plastic with either coffee shell or wood waste. This means that the Matek can eventually decompose back into nature. The Alder Stool is available in four biodegradable Matek variants: Biodegradable Beige, Light Green, Earth Grey, or Terracotta. The collection is designed for indoor use.

W45 x D45 x H50.4 cm / W17.7” x D17.7” x H19.8”

Made of wood and Matek® material (Cutting-edge technology allows Mater to make furniture from waste materials in their patented Matek® material by combining fibre with a binder. The Matek® is made by mixing e-waste with either coffee waste from Danish coffee producer BKI Kaffe or wood waste.)

For daily care, it is recommended to dust the surface with a soft cloth. The surface can be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in a mild solution of lukewarm water and a universal cleaning detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents and harsh detergents, as these may damage the surface.

Avoid placing Matek™ furniture in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity over longer periods of time, as this can affect the appearance of the material. For tabletops, we always recommend using trivets under hot objects, such as coffee pots and cups, to prevent damage to the surface.
