Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
We live in a country where basic comfort is not a goal but the basis of existence. The social structure creates a sympathetic and encouraging environment, together with a strong economy that allows us not to worry about basic needs. This enables each of us to look forward and advance leaving the struggle for survival behind.
However, despite publicity and vibrant discussions, the topic of plastic recycling remains in need of further elaboration. There is an obvious and banal gap in the resource utilisation system. Most of produced plastic is still not dealt with mindfully(recycled) both globally and in the EU. Germany is not an exception.
In our project, we are not looking for the cause of the status quo but changing it. We believe that action outstrips words. With our exhibition, we clearly demonstrate the potential of the material that is traditionally considered waste. We show how modern, aesthetic and durable objects can be produced from what could have become heaps of refuse likely to be burnt or landfilled.
So we want to share with you a new type of comfort: one enjoyed through honesty, responsibility and balance.
Besides the pieces of furniture and lightning, the exhibition will comprise works by contemporary artists, sound design, as well as a performance.
We are glad to invite you to our exhibition!
Sincerely,

Impossible comfort is an exhibition of design objects and happening in one. Through different artistic media we send a message, open a field for reflection and offer a realistic solution to the one of emerging plastic waste management issues.
The German Federal Environment Agency reported on June 30, 2023, that "The waste management industry recycles almost all collected plastic waste. In 2021, nearly 35 percent of all collected plastic waste were recycled as materials and 0.4 percent as raw materials or chemically. 64 percent of the waste was used for energy recovery. From a climate and environmental perspective, it is important to recycle more plastic waste as materials."
What we do - we recycle plastic waste as materials, creating furniture and lighting from it so that valuable plastic is not discarded (and potentially not harming the environment further).
