Toofifteen material buzz

Fresh furniture from a marvelous material

This footstool is part of a brand new collection launched by Toofifteen of Toronto. Born from a collaboration between two sisters with eyes for good design, the line includes three products that will help you fit out and organize your home. The pouf, the bins and the pouches have one amazing material in common: Tyvek. The innovative substance is soft and bright, feeling and looking a little like paper. You’ll be impressed by the remarkable qualities of the material, and delighted by the adaptability of Ashley Botten and Nina Jones’ creations.

Warp it the way you want it

The designers invite you to roll down the rim of the paper-like basket, to fold it, to crinkle it and to manipulate it into a dynamic, organic and highly textural object.

Treat it like a blank sheet

Tyvek makes the ideal canvas for kids and creative types. Toofifteen's pouch can be used as a pencil case, and its very contents will help you to decorate it. Permanent marker works best.

Stuff it with snacks

The material is non-toxic and completely food-safe, enabling you to store a variety of snacks inside of the pouches too. The easy-to-clean cases will not absorb oils and they will resist stains, making them ideal for continuous reuse.

Test its limits

Think even bigger, and use the bins to hold any overflow produce in the kitchen. The material is resistant to mould and mildew. You can also place them in the garage to store soccer balls and other sporting equipment.

Great for greenery

The incredible durability and waterproof properties of Tyvek open it up to a cornucopia of uses. Why not appropriate a basket as a planter? It's just as hard-wearing when wet.

Earth-minded minimalism

A priority of Ashley and Nina's was to ensure that their products be sustainable. It may be hard to believe a hardy material such as Tyvek is eco-friendly, but it is. It's recyclable.

Inside this ottoman are feathers, foam and Dacron to offer you great comfort and support. Each one is made to order.
