Studio Origoni Stiner
Since 2019 CUF Milan, thanks to the work of arch. Matteo Origoni, has become part of the “exploiters” collaborating with the European project FiberEUse, which deals with researching solutions for the recovery
of glass fibre compounds and support industry in the transition towards a circular economy model.
We are therefore proud to present the first series of office furniture manufactured through the use of recycled fibre composites.
Glass and carbon fibre reinforced composites are increasingly used as structural materials in many manufacturing sectors such as transport, construction and the energy sector, thanks to their greater lightness and resistance to corrosion, compared to metals.
Recycling these products is a very demanding task and a complex challenge: in fact, most of them end their life cycle in landfills as no significant added value has yet been demonstrated in their reuse and regeneration.
The European project FiberEUse focuses on finding solutions for the recovery of glass fibre composites and supporting industry in the transition towards a circular economy model. FiberEUse is a €9.8 million research project funded by the European Union since June 2017, involving 21 partners from 7 EU countries.
Since 2019 CUF Milan, thanks to the work of arch. Matteo Origoni, has joined the “exploiters” collaborating with the European project.
We are therefore proud to present the first series of office furniture made through the use of recycled fibre composites.
Designer
He works mainly on exhibit, interior and product design, developing projects for public and private clients, including: Ermenegildo Zegna, Coesia, Panino Giusto, Riva1920, Caimi Brevetti, Korean Craft Design Foundation, Museo delle Culture di Milano, Atlanta Design Museum, Triennale di Milano, Museo del 900 di Milano and many others.
His work has been published in numerous specialised magazines and selected for national and international awards, including the ADI Compasso d’Oro and the FAD award for architecture and interior design; in 2015 he was a finalist for the ‘Medaglia d’Oro all’Architettura Italiana’ award.
For three consecutive years (2017, 2018 and 2019) he was also appointed “Ambassador of Italian Design” for the “Italian Design Day”, an event organised by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Alongside his professional activity he also teaches: he is a professor at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and teaches Exhibit Design and Product Design at IED and Raffles Milano.
Since 2019 he has been collaborating, as a consultant, with the European project FiberEUse, aimed at the reuse of fibre-reinforced composites.
As part of this activity, he started with CUF Milano an experiment aimed at the inclusion of these sustainable materials in the office furniture sector, presenting the new “Gleb” series table.
