Frederik van Heereveld, the Belgian designer, has created the Q-Couch, a unique but pleasing range of couches that are colorful, fun and also durable. However, the burning issue among furniture designers is to choose the material for their designs. Wood being so expensive and also not a very sustainable source, furniture designers have been looking for other materials, which are not environmentally unfriendly but also give the designers the freedom to create what they want.

The Q-Couches are made of EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) and is apparently the perfect material for modern furniture. The EPP is already being used in lightweight car parts and packaging and this engineered plastic foam are non-toxic, easily recyclable and also sustainable. The Q-Couch in colors such as orange, gray, bright pink, black and so on. These couches are pleasing to touch and also to see. Van Heereveld is soon going to design couches with armrests and other such utilities.
