For Danish furniture brand Fritz Hansen, Japanese design studio nendo has created a recyclable chair collection made from 100% upcycled plastic.
With a smooth, rounded and curved seating surface that wraps around the rear, the backrest features a ‘fold’ line.
“This form is the result of an experimental process with various types of paper that was then incorporated into the development of the chair,” explained nendo. “By adding this horizontal line, the intention was that the soft form of the chair would sit more comfortably with the horizontal surface of a table.”
“As well as this the “fold” line creates a visible continuation from one chair to the next when they are positioned side by side,” added nendo. “The same crease also has benefits to the comfort of the chair, firmly supporting the lower back whilst also creating space and a relaxed feeling around the waist. The thickness of the backrest also enhances the comfort, fine adjustments have been made from the top to the base of the shell creating flexibility whilst giving sufficient strength and support.”
The chair is available in seven colour variations.
In addition to the leg variants of coloured or chrome, sled base, and a swivel base, there is also an armrest that can be added.
