Toasted Furniture is a research project about a self-made production operation. We built DIY machines that “toast” plastic waste into panels from which we make objects. Each step of the process is a constant work in progress that we question all the time, starting from the plastic waste to the complexity of the homemade machines and our small-scale garage operation. Our desire to make new objects is also questionable and because we cannot do anything to curb it, we want to at least create the perfect production process for it.
