Rebuilding a forest at home with Philipp Aduatz’s furniture

The future of design is undoubtedly sustainable, and Austrian designer Philipp Aduatz, who has transformed wood and flax fibers into true works of art, is leading the way with his biocomposite furniture collection. Haven’t seen it yet? Don’t worry—we’re here to introduce you to this pop and eco-friendly revolution in the world of furniture!

Picture a walk through the forests near Weidling, in Lower Austria, where Philipp Aduatz gathered branches that would otherwise have been left on the ground. Those branches, wrapped in flax fibers and infused with a biobased epoxy resin, have been given new life as a sculptural chair, a side table, and even a coffee table.

Each piece is one of a kind, like nature’s fingerprint, thanks to an experimental process that combines renewable materials and artisanal techniques. The result? A perfect blend of aesthetics and sustainability that puts ordinary industrial design to shame.

And then there’s the Hyperboloid Lamp: a nearly two-meter-tall masterpiece that combines flax fibers, biobased resin, futuristic LEDs, and a 3D-printed concrete base. It’s not just a light fixture—it’s a style statement, a piece that can transform any room into a contemporary art gallery.

What makes these pieces so special? Philipp Aduatz has pushed the boundaries of composite materials, embracing natural fibers like flax and resins made from plant-based oils. This approach not only reduces the carbon footprint but also creates a lightweight, durable, and incredibly versatile material. Perfect for anyone who loves guilt-free, eco-conscious design!

Behind this collection lies a simple yet powerful idea: turning the natural into the extraordinary. Aduatz’s furniture isn’t just functional—it tells a story. Every curve of the Branch Chair or the Branch Coffee Table speaks of its natural origin, with a modern twist that makes these pieces perfect for contemporary and minimalist homes.
