Read his book:
Award-winning architect and interior designer Campion Platt is collaborating with House of Ecologie to design a sustainable luxury capsule furniture collection that will use a new generation of advanced recycled materials. Ecogensus, a global sustainable resources technology company, will supply the proprietary materials.
The House of Ecologie, a sustainable furniture and home goods brand specializing in responsible design, is the brainchild of Ecogensus founder and CEO Bjørnulf Østvik, who conceived its first product, the "Eco-Table", as a limited furniture project to demonstrate the value of waste derived lumber. The Eco-Table's "wood" boards are made from average U.S. household solid waste, including all the organics such as food and yard. The boards are produced using Ecogensus' Rhino Recycler for the materials processing and then compression molding techniques. From there, the "lumber" can be worked by using standard woodworking tools to produce furniture. As a final step, the Eco-Table is enhanced with copper-toned features and a unique glossy finish.
"When I was first approached to design luxury furniture from garbage, I got excited and thought, finally." - Campion Platt
After receiving an overwhelmingly positive response, Bjørnulf had the idea to launch a luxury brand that combined truly unique sustainable materials and modern design. The 'House of Ecologie' is an homage to Ecogensus (Ecologically Generating Sustainable resources), while also capturing the feeling of the European fashion houses.
New York City architect AD100 recipient Campion Platt has been tapped by the House of Ecologie to design the premier collection utilizing the company's proprietary sustainable raw materials and finished products that replace wood, plastic, and other fossil-derived or first-use materials. Platt has designed eco-collections for HBF Textiles and Jim Thompson. He is considered the epitome of attainable luxury living and has crafted homes for such celebrated clients as Al Pacino and Meg Ryan and also co-developed glamorous hotels including the Mercer in Manhattan and the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. His holistic approach to design has led him to consult on several planned resort communities in recent years and has spawned textile, carpet, and furniture collections.
The House of Ecologie - Campion Platt collaboration will feature a number of timeless, handcrafted pieces to complement the modern, functional home guided also by Ecogensus' commitment to prioritizing the well-being of people and the planet.
"I am honored and delighted that Campion will be working with the House of Ecologie on this special collaboration that uses Ecogensus' sustainable materials," Østvik, CEO of House of Ecologie said. "Campion is a recognized leader in combining sustainability and excellence in design. I am confident that Campion's deep understanding of our commitment to waste reduction and the circular economy, along with his unique fusion of luxury and contemporary design, will lead not just to a successful collection for the House but help establish us as an authority in sustainable design."
"When I was first approached to design luxury furniture from garbage, I got excited and thought, finally. My own trajectory over years of creating has always been a fascination with the natural and organic, channeling honest materials and finishes in all aspects of my work," said Campion Platt. "The genius of repurposing our daily refuse to make bespoke furniture captured my environmental spirit in this otherwise throw-a-way world. Ecogensus is solving real world waste management problems at scale in other areas of their business, but together we have now focused on making beautiful objects for the home from purified materials, like a lotus that blossoms from muddy water."
