A FEW WORDS ABOUT LA COLLECTION SINGULIÈRE

DESIGNER FURNITURE FROM THE MATPEL TEAM

It is with immense collective pride that MATPEL Ecological Woodworking introduces LA COLLECTION SINGULIÈRE. Beyond an original design, created by the lifeblood of the woodworking shop, a winning concept was born: a collection of ecological, simple, and stylish designer furniture.

When Junior, a long-time MATPEL employee, returned from vacation with a notebook full of drawings, we knew we were on to something: a creative project led by cabinetmakers in the workshop and supervised by managers from afar.  

A CONTEMPORARY AND ORIGINAL LOOK

Visually, LA COLLECTION SINGULIÈRE ecological furniture is light and appears to be floating in space. Designed with one main supporting leg, the pieces must be attached to the wall to hold correctly. After all, we are cabinetmakers, not magicians.

GREEN OPTIMIZATION

In the course of our regular activities, the workshop generates unused sheet panels. We believe that the ideal ecological piece of designer furniture is one that involves as little transportation as possible. For this reason, the furniture in LA COLLECTION SINGULIÈRE is designed to optimize the internal management of our material and generate an internal circular economy.

One piece of SINGULIÈRE designer furniture is designed to fit in a single 4′ x 8′ sheet to minimize waste. Scraps produced from one model are then used to build another model. Or two pieces of furniture are made from a single wood panel. Once this is no longer possible, we order new materials. The colours and essences of LA COLLECTION SINGULIÈRE may therefore vary, depending on the production underway at MATPEL. 

Examples of this design constraint abound on the internet (see here), but these pieces sometimes lack refinement. We are quite proud of our outcomes, which stand out for their skilled craftsmanship rather than DIY-style.

IN KEEPING WITH OUR VALUES

LA COLLECTION SINGULIÈRE is in line with our philosophy of sustainable development: salvage, eco-design, employee participation, and healthy products. It’s all there. This integrated approach allows us to offer these products at prices lower than MATPEL’s usual production while maintaining our high-quality standards.
