Product designer [Inger Steinnes](https://www.instagram.com/ingersteinnes/?ref=protein.xyz) knows what it means to be eco-friendly and tasteful at the same time. Similar to some of her contemporaries' projects, like Daniel McLaughlin's [Terracase](https://www.protein.xyz/terracase/), the young Norwegian has created a range of products that are both pleasing to the eye but also use unusual, sustainable, waste materials: all designs have been built with recycled material. Take Steinnes' Lines chair, for instance: 90% is made from waste. The designer used damaged leather discarded from a leather factory in Flekkefjord to make the body with the chair's wood made from offcuts from a window factory in Moi.  
  
A previously, equally great project from Steinnes is her Brew Series: reminiscent of Jeongwon Ji's [Crustic](https://www.protein.xyz/crustic/) – a bioplastic derived from the crushed remains of mitten crab shells – the Brew series are beautifully designed pots that "aim to show us how something we regard as waste actually can become something valuable." All pieces are made out of a new material called Strinnes calls Brewplaster, made by mixing used coffee ground with plaster and colour to create new effects and properties.
