About the Item

Not So General is proud to present Kim Markel’s extraordinary new collaboration with beauty brand Glossier, which launched at Sight Unseen OFFSITE during NY Design Week 2018. A perfect expression of the passion that both Markel and Glossier have for marrying sustainability and style, this new series of translucent colored furniture pieces was fabricated in reclaimed plastic composed partly of Glossier’s pink-hued packaging empties, which the brand asked its employees to collect for months. The packaging is broken down and bonded with other plastics in large molds, then cured and sanded until an imperfect, slightly dissolved, candy-like effect is achieved. It takes over 50 Glossier jars to make a single chair. The collection includes a cabinet, chairs, side tables, and mirrors, as well as a vanity table made from spun stone dust, a new material Markel developed using a by-product of the quarrying process. The material solidifies quickly, so the pieces are formed intuitively, on a lathe. The shelves and back of this unique Glossier cabinet offered are made from Markel's signature recycled plastic using materials sourced directly from Glossier's own products, all of which are housed in a hand made brass cabinet. Of the aesthetic that drove the pieces, Markel referenced things that harbored magic as a child — Jelly shoes, lollipops at the bank, the splay of Bambi’s legs as he stands. This collection is made for an unapologetically gauzy Petra Collins world, where everything sort of has a permanent filter of childhood magic over it. This nostalgic way of thinking meets a modern way of working, paving the way to a brighter (or at least faintly glowing) future. Dimensions are approx 74" H x 30" W x 15" D.
