The Alder Collection by Patricia Urquiola is our first collection in biodegradable Matek™. Extensive testing and development have enabled us to use biodegradable plastic with our Matek technology, thus enabling the Matek to eventually decompose back into nature. The Alder Lounge Tables come in an oval and a square variant in two colours Biodegradable Sand and Earth Grey.
The collection is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
