argentinian architects sebastian hoepner, javier agustín rojas and federico sartor have designed the concrete ‘HRS stool‘ made from recycled materials they have collected from construction sites. the seating objects are defined by a supporting frame of three iron bars, combined with freshly mixed concrete for the seat — both mediums typically found outside building properties under development in buenos aires — moulded from an empty bucket of paint or plaster. the ‘HRS stools’ offer a way in which industrial waste could potentially be re-invisioned as something new and applicable for contemporary society and everyday use.
