The new centrepiece installation at 3’6 at Piccadilly
The 3D printed bar of the future
Designed and 3D printed in FabPub’s London circular Mobile Factory, the Wavery is our first public and permanent piece in London.
Named from the fusion of "Wave" and "Reverie" (French for 'dreaming'), these geometrically and functionally crafted elements emerged from parametric design and digital fabrication. Embracing waves of innovation, we strive to challenge norms, setting a new standard for what circularity can achieve through impactful projects.
Description
This project tackles environmental issues by creating an engaging experience that appeals to our senses. It's crafted using renewable and industrially compostable materials sourced locally. From the stools to the signature waves that cascade up from the bar and across the ceiling, the entire installation is crafted from PLA bioplastics.
We believe in fostering waves of innovation through impactful storytelling. Our vision includes taking you on a journey towards a future where global design meets local production, creating everything from renewable and circular materials. It's about shaping a sustainable tomorrow.

Materials
Derived from fermented sugar, PLA bioplastic produces 80% less carbon than traditional plastics and is also edible by enzymes, allowing it to decompose in an industrial composter.
Fabrication
The project was designed by Mamou-Mani Architects and locally manufactured at Fab.Pub in London, where the geometrical and functional elements were created using parametric design and digital fabrication, showcasing the capabilities of 3D printing technology with sustainability at heart.
