Living in a colorful world is something we all desire, isn't it? The Ace & Tate eyewear store located in Amsterdam boasts interiors adorned with terrazzo flooring crafted from an incredibly vibrant mix of recycled plastic. This unexpected yet delightful design choice catches your eye in the best possible way! As part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability, Ace & Tate collaborated with Plasticiet, a company specializing in eco-friendly materials, for this unique Belgian store. Their goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by around 2030, and by the end of 2020, all their glasses will be made from 100% bio acetate—recyclable acetate blended with bio-based plasticizers instead of petroleum-based ones. Let's take a closer look inside!

Plasticiet, co-founded by designers Marten van Middelkoop and Joost Dingemans, takes great care in collecting plastic waste and transforming it into usable sheets resembling traditional stones like marble and granite. For the Antwerp store of Ace & Tate, they created a stunning terrazzo effect featuring large chips of bright blue, red, green, and yellow hues.

Plasticiet mentioned that all the plastic used came from the local area, and they carefully selected pieces to create an appealing color palette, utilizing nearly 1,000 kilograms for the project. Their dedication to this initiative is clear—the plastic terrazzo panels cover the walls, arches, shelves, and counters of the store. The recycling process is visually represented through display boxes for the glasses and sunglasses, creating an attractive and informative window display. The role of designers in reducing the use of virgin plastics to protect the environment is crucial, and they should serve as role models for others!

"We want to inspire others to find long-term applications for materials that are reusable or recyclable rather than misusing the world's precious resources by disposing of them recklessly," noted Dingemans.
