As part of Adelaide Design Week 2026, Klaro Industrial Design joined BENCHED, an exhibition bringing together designers and creatives to explore new interpretations of the humble bench.
For the exhibition, we created ZERO Tolerance, a bench made entirely from materials that might otherwise have gone to waste.
The design gives a second life to our ZERO Umbilical links that didn't quite meet our colour tolerance standards, paired with leftover Meandering – Desert Oaks fabric by Jimmy Pike x Materialised, originally used in our Qantas Innovation Centre SA project.
The result is a playful exploration of material reuse, celebrating the unexpected possibilities of manufacturing offcuts and imperfections.
A big thank you to Public Private for bringing together such a wonderful mix of creatives, and to Adelaide Design Week for a fantastic week of design, conversations and inspiration.
