Potato and Sprout

"Flipping the negative perception of plastic" 

Potato and Sprout are a small Australian business led by Co-founders Alex and Charlie who fell in love with recycled plastics as a material and wanted to come up with something that is more than waste and lasts more than a season. They developed a business that recognises the reality that plastic waste is going to outlive us, so they have come up with a way to make it useful while it is here. 

Plastic is strong with unique flexibility and can be used in ways that many traditional materials can not. It can slot, fold and twist and be manipulated in to interesting forms and colour ways. Potato and Sprout believe pieces with personality are the best and want to slow down the churn of fast furniture while they "strive for a violently optimistic future" 

"Let's turn the trashy bits into something a little more upbeat"

P&S have brought their idea to life through the team at Defy Design, a Botany based recycled plastics manufacturer and product design studio who give plastics a second life. 

All products are sourced, designed and manufactured in Australia.
