Hyfer Objects furniture incorporates Sulapac wood composites
High-end design furniture is 3D printed from bio-based, eco-friendly materials for aesthetic and sustainable home product options.
Sulapac’s (Helskinki, Finland) bio-based, eco-friendly wood composites materials are now being incorporated into Hyfer Objects’ (previously Ekbacken Studios, Stockholm, Sweden) entire signature Collection no.1 of environmentally conscious “masterpiece” furniture. The continued partnership with 3D technology company, The Industry (Malmö, Finland) ensures that the trio are merging technology and sustainability to produce high-end furniture locally.
The incorporation of Sulapac’s materials indicate Hyfer’s committment against environmental degradation while producing high-end design pieces. Made of biodegradable biopolymers and natural wood, Sulapac leaves no permanent microplastics or toxic residues behind. The wood originates from industrial side streams, and in the future, will also use recycled biopolymers. Moreover, the materials have a low carbon footprint compared to conventional plastic.

Hyfer Objects is dedicated to creativity, quality and environmental responsibility. It aims to continue its focus on using a variation of circular materials to create luxurious design pieces.
“It’s inspiring to see how seamlessly Sulapac material and Hyfer’s contemporary designs play together,” Juho Luukkanen, sales director at Sulapac, says. “It’s a pleasure to work with another Nordic forerunner willing to challenge the status quo while fostering a culture of excellence.”
Besides 3D printing, the Sulapac portfolio includes materials for injection molding, extrusion and thermoforming.
