A Hartford-based company, Ecogensus, has launched a line of sustainable furniture and home goods made of recycled materials.
The brand, called House of Ecologie, is a partnership with New York City architect and interior designer, Campion Platt, and includes luxury furniture created from repurposed waste materials.
Ecogensus, a global sustainable resources technology company, will build the furniture using proprietary waste-derived advanced composite materials in lieu of wood and also incorporate other recovered and recycled materials.
The concept is the brainchild of Ecogensus founder and CEO Bjørnulf Østvik, who designed the first product for House of Ecologie called the “Eco-Table,” which is made from U.S. household solid waste.
Based on a positive response, Bjørnulf decided to turn the concept into a brand.
