Pop ‘round was a casual yet classy collection of furniture presented by Pop ‘Round Collective; a trio of emerging designers that have come together through a mutual passion for materiality, sustainability and love for sharing creativity with others. We draw inspiration from the current trajectory of our world, and aspire to produce work that is relevant and necessary. 

Combining our passion, inspiration and aspiration, Pop ‘round was born; a furniture exhibition that showcased materiality and transparency while breaking the constraints of a traditional furniture exhibition experience. 

With the exception of some necessary hardware, fasteners and small mechanisms, all Pop ‘round furniture was constructed from used materials we rescued from junkyards, factory bins, nature strips, online second-hand marketplaces and more. Like guests visiting our home, we welcomed our audience to interact with our furniture, test their functions and use them when engaging with other visitors. Our creations have sought to meet a high-end, premium standard in hope of changing our audience’s view of waste from “disposal” to “desirable”. Our making process and material sourcing was also showcased in order to educate, inspire and to reach complete transparency with our audience.
