Minimal Sustainable Seating
The Slab Seating Collection by Jumphol Socharoentham for Waste is More
Amy Duong — September 18, 2025The Slab Seating collection by Jumphol Socharoentham for Waste Is More rethinks seating through minimal construction and material waste reduction. The series includes chair, bench, stool, and bar-stool designs built around solid slab forms, where Waste Is More’s leftover material sheets form the seats. The structures emphasise simple geometry and prolonged durability.
Each piece uses the inherent properties of the raw materials, embracing visible grain, texture, and contrast rather than hiding imperfections. Upholstered backs or seats add comfort while maintaining the aesthetic honesty of the slabs. With careful proportion and restraint in detail, the collection promotes sustainability through design integrity. Waste Is More shows how furniture can act both as a functional object and a material statement without decoration or excess.
