Bene bFRIENDS Power Module

Produced locally, on demand, using additive manufacturing

Over the past four years, Pearson Lloyd has collaborated in a joint venture with London-based 3D print disruptor Batch.Works and Austrian furniture partner Bene. The original collection, bFRIENDS, consisting of desk accessories, has garnered critical acclaim and has been widely adopted in offices and homes worldwide.

In the last year, our research has expanded into the more technically demanding field of desktop power modules. Traditionally produced using highly tooled, multi-material assemblies, the bFRIENDS power modules disrupt the market with an innovative combination of additive manufacturing, elegant functionality, and cost-effectiveness. Complex installations are simplified by a straightforward threaded sub-assembly, while a range of beautiful color combinations provide a refreshing alternative to the traditionally dominant black designs.

Recycled & Local

Our bFRIENDS desk accessory range is made from recycled bioplastic (RPLA: 0.96 kg CO2e) sourced from food packaging waste diverted from landfill. The collection is produced locally, on demand, using additive manufacturing to eliminate the need for tooling and warehousing, significantly reducing transportation emissions. This unusually dynamic and expansive collection continues to evolve, made possible by Batch.Works’ agile manufacturing systems.
