Arclinea's New G_cover Finish

Created in Italy by B Corp-certified company Alisea Recycled and Reused Objects Design, g_cover is not only ecologically sensitive, it also protects surfaces from light and signs of aging.G_cover is a byproduct of electrode processing. During the treating of Graphite, a precious ancient mineral, powder is collected, recycled, and developed into a wood-protecting varnish. The varnish yields a distinctive grey tone.

Graphite is repurposed through traceable supply chains; the non-toxic mineral generates both social and environmental value. Arclinea’s developed finish provides a resourceful use for the material that would otherwise be distributed in landfills across the globe.

Arclinea’s Drawing Better Connections manifesto presents a new ethical design objective.  Caring for the environment we inhabit through design secures a life-long connection to the quintessential ingredients for life: food, family, and nature
