BAL8 (Balotto) is the first street furniture rising from what we use to call “waste”. BAL8 is a set of 3 objects, inspired by the hexagonal geometry of the ancient walls that protected the Medieval Bologna and the Circular economy concept. The name combines the local Bolognese slang “Balotta”, which means “company”, and the number “8” to recall the closed loop of the materials and the infinite symbol.
Material Structure: heterogeneous polyphenyl polymers, recycling of so-called “dirty” plastics. Cushions: old advertising banners of the Municipality of Bologna and Biografilm Festival badge holder.
Production Structure: WASP & r3direct – Cushions: Orplast
