Chair Made of Recycled Soda and Water Bottles Receives Best Design Award
The Danish designed NOBODY Chair from Komplot Design was presented the “Best in International Design Over Last 12 Months” award at the London Design Museum Inaugural Exhibition and Awards Celebration. The designers Poul Christiansen and Boris Berlin describe their chair this way: “With its clear metaphor for a cover, the cloth is laid on the chair to protect it while not being used. NOBODY refers to the ’shadow’ side of the life of a chair. The cover blurs the shape of the chair and at the same time makes an allusion to it. But on our ‘cover’ one can sit without the ’chair’ underneath. The cover is empty and the chair is taken away, but cloth still remembers the chair and keeps the shape of it.”
NOBODY is produced in one single process by thermo-pressing the polymer fibre PET felt mat without any kind of the frame. The production process neither demands any additives like glues or resins, nor any additional materials like screws or reinforcements. PET felt is made of 100% recycled material produced mainly from used soda and water bottles.
Light and stackable, NOBODY can be used in both public and residential interiors. Good air circulation, perfect acoustic properties of the PET felt and ease of cleaning give additional qualities to the chair.
