About 4x4 Tūru
Kua hoahoatia, kua hangaia hoki te tūru 4x4 mā te tikanga whakamahi anō, mā te whakamahi i ngā rawa tāhokahoka. Kua hangaia te tūru mā te whakamahi i te 16 kōrere pepa tāhokahoka, kotahi rau e ono tekau henemita te roa o ia kōrere. Ko te wero i roto i te hoahoa o tēnei tūru ko te whakatakoto i ngā kōrere ki runga i te mata whakapā iti rawa o te porohita, nā te mea ka paheke ngā kōrere ki runga i tētahi ki tētahi, ā, me nui ake te mata whakapā hei ūnga. Hei whakaoti i tēnei wero, i hoahoatia, i hangaia hoki ngā wāhanga kirihou tāhokahoka hei aukati i te nekenga taha o ngā kōrere ki runga i tētahi ki tētahi.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The 4x4 bench is made using 16 recycled paper tubes, each measuring 160 centimeters in length, which are used for carpet rolls. The uniqueness of this bench lies in the placement of these tubes on the smallest possible circular section contact surface, as overlapping circles have a tendency to slide and fill up a greater contact surface area with empty space. To solve this problem, recycled plastic parts were designed and produced to prevent lateral movement of the tubes on top of each other.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The bench has dimensions of 160*43*43 centimeters and can accommodate 3 people. It weighs 22 kilograms and can withstand a weight of up to 230 kilograms according to the test results.

- Production Technology
- All materials have been used in their raw and natural colors with emphasis on their inherent aesthetic qualities in the design and construction of this bench. This concept has the potential to expand into a complete set of furniture and tables, as its approach and concept involve reusing recyclable materials and giving utility to such materials that are abundantly seen in our surroundings.
- Design Challenge
- Attention to detail while maintaining simplicity is an important aspect of the design and idea behind this bench. For example, in addition to its role in compressing the pipes and holding the overall structure of the bench, the retaining straps have created handles by doubling the extra part of the strap, making the bench easier to move around. Additionally, the technical specifications label of the product or the symbols printed on the product seek graphic aesthetics when combined with an industrial product.
- Research
- The primary method of research in this project involved conducting a literature review of reference databases to determine the extent of household or industrial waste disposal. The importance of this issue is whether these wastes are being recycled in today's age or if they are recyclable. The main approach of 4x4 Bench was based on this inquiry and aimed to use the answer to provide a practical effect while maintaining beauty and design challenges. This approach strives to demonstrate the beauty and practicality of the recycled materials used to users.
- Inspiration
- Nowadays, one of the biggest global issues is waste generation and environmental pollution. Recycling and reusing existing materials multiple times is one way to prevent less waste production. Therefore, the idea of creating a functional object using recycled materials gave birth to the construction of this bench.
- Project Duration
- 2023, Iran/Shiraz
- Operation Flow
- This bench is suitable for use in cafes or offices. The entire bench is designed for indoor spaces. In addition, to ensure long-term use for bench users, cushions with clear recycled plastic covers filled with recycled fabric fibers are designed and considered as an alternative. This approach is in line with the trend of using available materials.
