Elmo Ambiente

Partnerships with boutique suppliers help us transcend conventional norms. Smile Plastics converts discarded materials from a wide range of sources into solutions offering high integrity, with a raw, post-industrial aesthetic.

Three artisanal finishes offer a window onto their past: Charcoal blends pharmaceutical and food packaging, repurposed water bottles make up Ocean, while Kaleido’s multicolour mosaic brings new life to discarded cosmetics.

Translucent casings leave clues to their former lives on the first Montegrappa ever made from fully recycled resin. Random flecks of foil, barcode fragments and other curios lend each segment its own unique fingerprint.

A collaboration with artisanal stationers, Arbos, delivers an exclusive cache of recycled writing accessories. Reconstituted leather offcuts, textile waste and paper are the ingredients for an accompanying case, pouch and notebook.
