It's Time for A ReMix!

3Form continues to amaze me.... This company specializes in acrylic resin and pressed glass panels. These products can be used for many applications, from counter tops to room dividers to accent wall pieces. 3Form has really pushed their sustainable product line by introducing the Varia EcoResin line that is made from a minimum of 40% post consumer materials and the use for their products help aid in LEED certification which most everyone is striving for nowadays. Here is the kicker....



The new 3Form ReMix collection! This product takes leftover scraps from custom Varia EcoResin panels and mixes them together to create a unique and one of a kind acrylic panel. These panels are definitely a conversation piece in any application. This interesting item is made from 77.5% pre-consumer recycled material. The other 22.5% of the panels that is not recycled consists mainly of the binding agent acrylic material that forms the panels, and the metal clips used to attached the panels together. This material is truly a unique piece of art that starts out merely as a bunch of leftover acrylic resin strips in a garbage can!


From this state, the strips are then selected and arranged by alternating all of the different designs that the Varia EcoResin line offers. These designs are coordinated by color and then formed into panels. Since this is a new product, the ReMix collection offers 4 color variations: Blue, Dark Natural, Green, and Light Natural (pictured below). The designs can also come vertically or horizontally affiliated. Overall, this is a beautiful, recycled product that would be a dream to work with. Unfortunately, at $800 per 48"x96" panel... this is just a dream right now.
