A Pale Soft Plane, Craig Konyk, Artists Space 1999
In 1998, Artists Space Gallery in SOHO featured architect Craig Konyk's installation entitled, "A Pale Soft Plane". Visitors to the gallery participated in a tactile experience of walking on an inclined floor constructed of 169 16"x16"x3" Pudgees. Art Director Claudia Gould said, "It's like walking on giant marshmallows."

Contemporary furniture design with Pudgee and SunMate

From top to bottom: 1) custom-made Pudgee bench for an architect 2) Harvard Graduate School of Design student project 3) custom-designed sofa with Pudgee 4) 2002 "Skin: Surface, Substance and Design" exhibit at Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum featuring Pudgee-topped seating.

Archery target made with Hard SunMate (T50E)SunMate, Pudgee, and Liquid SunMate Foam-In-Place cushion materials are so versatile and unique, they can be used in many applications where specialty foam material is desired.

We have worked with furniture designers, architects, sculptors, industrial designers, engineers, movie prop artists, model makers, tailors, sailors, cyclists and more. People looking for creative, tactile material solutions are intrigued by the unusual feel of Pudgee and the custom mold-ability of Foam-in-Place (FIPS). Our cushions also often fit the bill when the application requires a material that performs well technically under extreme impact, in extreme climates, or has to conform to specific fire codes.

Our customer service reps are happy to answer your questions and help you determine if our materials fit your needs.
