Vepa transforms would-be waste coffee bags into unique furniture.

Unique furniture made from transformed coffee bags, showcasing sustainable design by Vepa and Peeze with scattered coffee beans.

Vepa has joined forces with coffee brand, Peeze, to develop a new range of furniture with a transformative twist.

Peeze is renowned for its fair traded, high-quality coffee. It receives its coffee beans in sturdy jute bags, sourced from sustainable plantations and cooperatives around the world. With the large number of beans roasted annually, a significant amount of jute accumulates.

But instead of going to waste, this organic residual flow now serves as a valuable raw material for Vepa's new furniture pieces.

Jute, hemp and organic resin are combined in new chair shells and the natural properties of the materials ensure that each chair has its own look - no piece is the same.

The unique Hemp Coffee series comprises stylish, circular chairs and stools, ideal for workspace, hospitality and residential settings. All brilliant examples of sustainably-centred collaboration.

Unique furniture pieces made from recycled coffee bags, showcasing vibrant prints and sustainable design by Vepa and Peeze.

Discover the full range here, and visit Material Source Studio Manchester & Glasgow to see the products in-situ.
