Posted by admin on
Architecture firm Gensler's Mixu chair made from post-industrial recycled plastic and FSC-certified wood is among 14 new products featured on Dezeen Showroom this week.
Mixu chair by Gensler for Arper
Mixu is a highly customisable chair created by architecture firm Gensler for Italian furniture brand Arper.
Each component of the chair can be paired with different seats, backrests and bases that come in an array of colours, textures and materials such as recycled plastic, fabric and leather, as well as FSC-certified wood.
The chair, which is shipped disassembled in a bid to reduce its volume and carbon footprint, is put together without glue or staples so that each component can be easily replaced, disposed or recycled.
Mixu was featured on Dezeen Showroom this week, alongside products including carbon-negative chairs and a table that was inspired by the mirthful aesthetic of jelly bean sweets.
