咖啡废料与水泥的家具制品
Xavier Loránd blends coffee waste and concrete for Nero furniture

设计师Xavier Loránd从其墨西哥工作室附近的咖啡馆收集了许多咖啡渣，并将这些废料用于制作凳子和桌子。

Nero边桌和凳子在今年墨西哥设计周期间展出，这些家具是咖啡爱好者的一系列材料实验的结果。

The brown, grainy tops of this stool and table are made from used coffee grounds that designer Xavier Loránd sourced from cafes near his Mexico City studio.
Presented at this year's Design Week Mexico, the Nero side table and stool are the result of a series of material experiments by the self-proclaimed coffee lover.



Loránd说：“在一开始它只是一个私人项目，这源于我对咖啡的热爱，它代表了一切。我来自韦拉克鲁斯，这是墨西哥第二大咖啡产区。”

设计师现位于墨西哥首都，他从附近的商店收集了咖啡残渣。然后，他将其混入植物基生物树脂等材料，随后将混合物放置在模具中制成面板。

Loránd说：“我在附近的咖啡馆收集了将近一个月的咖啡废料，然后将它们清洗、晒干，再把它们磨得更细一些，接着添加了细木皮，并开始测试生物树脂添加比例和模压。”

设计师形容这款家具的密度和质地介于软木和中密度纤维板之间，并带有咖啡的香气。设计师与Muro Blanco混凝土公司合作开发该项目，同时他还参与了咖啡收集工作。

"It started as a personal project due to the love I have for coffee and everything it represents," Loránd said. "I'm from Veracruz, which is the second larger coffee producing state in Mexico."
The designer, who is now based in the capital, gathered leftover coffee from nearby shops. He then paired it with binding materials like plant-based bio-resin, and left the mixture to set in a mould to create the surfaces.
"We collected coffee waste near the studio for a month, then we cleaned it, washed it, sun dried it, and then ground it again to get it finer," Loránd said. "Then we added fine wood husk and started making tests with the bio-resin percentage and the mould pressing."
The designer, who describes the finish as having the "texture and hardness between cork and MDF, but with the scent of coffee", collaborated on the project with concrete company Muro Blanco. He therefore also worked with concrete to complement the collection.



粒状的面板位于凳子暗色的底座上，底座由混凝土和一种黑色的石头制成。而边桌桌面的一半来源于颗粒咖啡混合物，另一半则来源于咖啡和混凝土混合制成的光滑米色面板。

设计师说：“我们决定把咖啡和混凝土混在一起，经过几次试验后，我们得到了期待中的效果，即一种摩卡外观的混凝土。”

The grainy top of the stool is set on a dark base formed from a combination of concrete and recinto – a black stone. For the side table, half of the top is the grainy coffee mixture, while the other is a smooth beige chunk that comprises a blend of coffee with concrete.
"We decided to mix coffee and concrete to get something in between and," said the designer, "after several trials, the result was what we where expecting: a mocha-looking concrete."



带有斑点的浅色边桌底座由混凝土和水磨石制成。

为完善这项工作，Loránd还设计了一台蓝色的陶瓷咖啡壶，名为“Provincia”，它包含一个镶边壶和两个杯子。

Nero和Provincia系列在今年墨西哥设计周期间的Inédito展上展出，展览日期为2018年10月10日到14日。

去年，Loránd展示了由树脂和木屑混合而成的餐椅和餐桌后，Dezeen杂志将他列为国家新兴设计师。

Completing the set, the side table's speckled pale base is made of concrete and terrazzo.
To complete the works, Loránd also designed a blue, ceramic coffee set, named Provincia, which includes a rimmed jug and two cups.
Nero and Provincia were presented at the Inédito exhibition during this year's Design Week Mexico – which ran from 10 to 14 October 2018.
Last year, Dezeen picked Loránd as one of the country's emerging designers to watch, after he presented a dining chair and table made of a mix of resin and wood chips.
