Gallery Aram showcases innovative material promising a safer future for upholstered furniture.
In an exciting development, the Aram Gallery in London is hosting the 'Beyond Foam' exhibition, which showcases the versatile and eco-friendly EcoLattice as a viable alternative to conventional foam. The exhibition, curated by EcoLattice's research start-up, runs until 11 November 2025.
EcoLattice, a 3D-printed material developed by Yash Shah, is a game-changer in the graphic design world. It was conceived as a university project to address the global pollution crisis caused by the widespread use of polyurethane foam, a toxic, near-unrecyclable material commonly found in upholstered furniture, cars, and trainers.
The 'Beyond Foam' exhibition is a testament to EcoLattice's potential, with eight UK-based graphic designers experimenting with the material. These designers include Arianna Kilachand, Harinad PM, Maria Bravo, Richard Price, Rupert Warries, Shivangi Vasudeva, Tom Howell, and Tomas Thorsson.
One of the standout designs at the exhibition is the reinterpretation of Eileen Gray's classic 'Bibendum' chair. Aram, which holds the global head licence for this iconic design, has collaborated with EcoLattice to create a sustainable version of the chair.
Other innovative applications of EcoLattice include 'CorpusForma', a spine-inspired seat that adapts to multiple modes of sitting, and 'Évoque', a sleek lounger designed for effortless repose. The exhibition also features 'Eco Fidget', a cluster of chairs for stress relief, demonstrating the material's versatility.
Nina Zenhäusern, exhibition designer and co-curator, has conceived a dedicated 'Material Playground' for visitors to experience EcoLattice firsthand. This interactive space allows visitors to explore the material's creative and technical possibilities.
Daniel Aram, managing director of Aram, comments, "EcoLattice's solution is the latest in developments for alternatives to modern furniture foam with environmental drawbacks." Aram Gallery is proud to showcase this new design technology from young, innovative graphic designers as part of the 'Beyond Foam' exhibition.
EcoLattice is made from elastomers, including TPU and automotive waste, making it not only a sustainable choice but also a scalable and affordable one. Its recyclable nature means that it can contribute significantly to reducing waste in the graphic design industry.
