LITTLE NOBODY CHAIR

Danish design duo Komplot is the first to create an industrially produced chair made strictly from textile. The chair Nobody is molded in one piece and in one single process resulting in a simple, light weight and stackable chair meeting modern demands of sustainability in both materials and production. In its form Nobody refers to a piece of cloth laid over a chair to cover and protect it. Using a technique borrowed from the car industry to make shelves for car boots Nobody is manufactured from two layers of thermo pressed PET felt - a 100 % recyclable material made from used water- and soda bottles. The production process neither demands an internal frame, plastic, screws, glue or other reinforcements. How cool!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
