Part 1 of Project "Marco" Eco Fitted Bedroom Furniture. June 2011

Tristan Titeux introduces Project "Marco" where he designed floating shelves in the left alcove and a wardrobe on the right.

The floating shelves use thin pieces of mdf or chipboard with a hollow core of cardboard with honeycomb structure, the benefit of this material is that it uses less precious wood material and glue as the largest part is composed of air and cardboard, cardboard being just paper and water pressed together so very natural presuming the process uses minimal chemicals to produce it. Then you are left with a thin layer of mdf, this once sealed with flexible filler we use a special primer called a "passivating primer" which seals and neutralises the glue that bonds the sawdust if it is mdf or wood chips if it is chipboard.

Then the shelves where painted over with VOC free waterbased Eco paint that has no odour.

The flexible filler used is a VOC free waterbased one made by Geocel, what makes this product different to all the others available is that it uses a reusable cartridge meaning that when the flexible filler is used up you only throw away a very small amount amount of plastic packaging compared to normal.
