HENRY & CO. srl
Challenge
The challenge was to use the prototype of an innovative material based on hemp, without formaldehyde and petroleum derivatives.
Research on sustainable materials is fundamental to HENRY & CO., being a pillar of the group’s vision of sustainable and fairer development for all. It is necessary to do in-depth work on materials, calculating the material’s life cycle and assessing production impact.
That is why HENRY & CO., as an eco design agency, decided to pursue research into sustainable and innovative materials.
Result
D’Aqua provides a line of strictly water-based products suitable for wood and metal.
Rocking Horse is made of a material derived from hemp. This plant allows the production of lightweight materials that are versatile both in green buildings and in the construction of objects.
In addition, hemp-based materials can purify the air, allowing people to live in healthy environments.HENRY & CO. decided to adapt it to the world of children, building a rocking horse with an eco design perspective, aesthetically enjoyable and sustainable. Rocking Horse is built by interlocking, without glue or screws, keeping its green value pure.
