Most
furniture ends up as trash.

It doesn’t have to be that way. The furniture industry produces millions of metric tons of waste every year. Traditional seating furniture is made from a mix of materials. It’s glued, stapled, and laminated together, making it virtually impossible to disassemble, repair, or recycle. When a sofa is worn out, it ends up in the incinerator. So do the raw materials inside. As a result, enormous quantities of high-quality material are lost: PU foam and latex from old sofas, seating elements, and mattresses; EPS foam from electronics packaging and discarded refrigerators. These are materials with real structural and functional value—simply because no one has found a way to reuse them.

Waste rediscovered as a raw material for high-quality seating furniture.

The circular design principles of the Puzzl soft seating collection are based on two mutually reinforcing developments. On the one hand, material innovation that responds to what the world discards. Old PU foam and latex from dismantled seating furniture, as well as EPS from electronics packaging and old refrigerators, are recycled and reprocessed into high-quality structural and comfort materials. Without compromise. Materials that meet the requirements for commercial project furniture and are made almost exclusively from recovered waste streams. On the other hand, the design ensures that it will never become waste again. Every component of the Puzzl has a modular design and is constructed so that it can be disassembled quickly and easily. No glue, staples, or mixed materials. Just four clean, single-material components that are easy to separate, ensuring that the value invested at the outset is preserved until the very end.

Circular Value Model

Turn in your PUZZL and get 0.25 euro cents per kilo of furniture back

Return it. Have it refurbished.

When your Puzzl has reached the end of its useful life, return it to TRIBOO. Sofas in good condition are refurbished and put back into service. At the end of their actual lifespan, all materials are recovered for high-quality recycling and used as raw materials for the next generation of Puzzl.

Or let TRIBOO bring it all full circle.

In recognition of your investment in a circular product, TRIBOO pays €0.25 per kilogram of furniture upon return.

From waste stream to construction material.

CircleFoam’s technology processes post-consumer and post-industrial EPS into industrial CircleFoam blocks. This rigid, lightweight construction material serves as the base material for the frame of the Puzzl seating elements. Recycled PU foam and latex are processed into CircleFoam Comfort. A high-quality foam that guarantees comfortable seating. These discarded raw materials, which would otherwise have ended up in the trash, are reused and perform perfectly in high-traffic environments.

Modularly constructed as an endless source of material for seating furniture.

The Puzzl has a modular design and is constructed from four single materials: CF-rEPS frame, CF-Comfort foam, Greengridz®, and fabric. The upholstery is applied without glue or staples, and every connection is reversible. The seating elements can be easily disassembled without tools, glue, or specialized knowledge. As a result, at the end of its lifespan, each mono-material can be high-quality recycled and serve as raw material for the next Puzzl.

Sustainable Use of Raw Materials

The PUZZL is made from waste and lightweight construction materials, which allows us to use fewer materials and raw materials.

CircleFoam Inside

Materials from old furniture, mattresses, and packaging are reused as raw materials in PUZZL seating elements.

#Greengridz Inside

Lightweight #greengridz furniture panels use 60 to 90% less material and have a 60% lower carbon footprint.

Circular Design Principles

The cladding is installed without glue or staples, and each joint is reversible.

Modular construction

PUZZL seating elements effortlessly adapt to the dynamics of the space. Compact, flexible, and fully customizable to your preferences. If your needs change, you can easily adjust the layout.

What started with viewing a 3D printed tulip vase and then driven by commitment and enthusiasm, many more circular solutions turned out to be possible, which were eventually realized in the building. TRIBOO gave "working together on housing" a much broader dimension and a story to go with it.

Pieter and Peter find it very interesting and fun to work with TRIBOO. They deliver products that are completely in line with our circular objectives. They take us along in the development and knowledge of materials, binding techniques and modular constructions made on Dutch soil. They simply show us what it is made of and that appeals. They also help us tell "the circular story".

Massaro: 'We chose this furniture because it is made of worthless waste that would otherwise have made a negative impact on our planet. Now the waste has become cool and fun furniture. All those thousands of employees and visitors who will be using the rooms will see the story, read it, and may be inspired to do the same'.
