CONCIOUS RANGE
CISSI
In 2023, we set out to build on our existing sustainability efforts by developing a new kind of collection.
After researching materials and discussing ideas with customers, it was during a meeting with Puustelli that a shared interest in sustainability became clear. Puustelli had spent years researching composites and had begun using a blend of polypropylene and wood cellulose, a proven, sustainable option. As we at Metakor were new to working with such materials, we welcomed the idea of creating a handle from the same innovative composite.
To reflect the collaboration, we felt it was important that the design also have a Finnish origin. We approached Tuominen Patel, who created a refined and elegant proposal, now known as Cissi.
Production of Cissi is located in Finland and powered by green energy. Every step, from material sourcing to production and packaging, has been carefully considered with sustainability in mind.
Not only did we create a handle designed to last a lifetime (or two), but we also integrated 30% recycled Miinus frames to highlight the potential of this material. In addition, the collection is 100% recyclable, making it a fully circular design choice.
The result is a beautiful, soft, and warm handle available in two contemporary finishes: Coffee Brown and Graphite. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into any kitchen, bathroom, or piece of furniture.
And there’s more: the handle is significantly lighter than traditional metal versions, reducing CO₂ emissions during transport, while also storing carbon within the material itself.
