Internationally acclaimed designer Joe Doucet and sustainable material innovator The Good Plastic Company have joined forces to debut the OLO Table, a striking sculptural piece that redefines the intersection of circular design and high aesthetics. Premiering at the inaugural Shelter fair in New York from May 17-19, the table is crafted entirely from Polygood, a revolutionary material made from 100% recycled plastic sourced from discarded refrigerators and electronics.
The OLO Table is more than just furniture—it’s a bold statement on sustainable design. With its fluid, monolithic form and precision CNC joinery, the table showcases Polygood’s unique thermoformable qualities, a rarity among recycled materials. The sweeping semi-circular legs and seamless top reflect Doucet’s philosophy that sustainability and iconic design are inseparable.
“This project proves that recycled plastic can be both sophisticated and versatile,” says Doucet. “It’s about elevating materials often dismissed as waste into objects of desire.”
Dr. William Chizhovsky, Founder and CEO of The Good Plastic Company, echoes this sentiment: “OLO embodies our mission to transform post-consumer waste into design excellence. Collaborating with visionaries like Joe Doucet pushes the boundaries of what recycled materials can achieve.”
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the OLO Table is a testament to circular economy principles. Polygood panels are Cradle to Cradle certified, Declare Red List Free, and free from halogens or heavy metals, aligning with the highest standards for health and sustainability. At a time when renewal and reuse are critical, OLO stands as a symbol of innovation and purpose.
The table will be available for viewing and purchase at the Shelter exhibit, marking another milestone in Doucet’s exploration of material innovation and design-driven sustainability. For those eager to witness the future of eco-conscious design, OLO is a must-see.
