Oki Sato designs recyclable chair for Fritz Hansen | Design | Dezeen

Oki Sato explains how Nendo's chair for Republic of Fritz Hansen follows circular design principles, in this exclusive video filmed by Dezeen at the Japanese design studio's office in Milan.
Called the N02 Recycle, the stackable chair is made from recycled household plastics and is designed to be recycled into a new chair at the end of its life.
The release of the chair is the first move by Fritz Hansen towards creating products for the circular economy.
"It's really important for us to try to connect the tail of the project with the head of the project and try to create a complete loop," Sato told Dezeen.
The household plastics used to make the seat are collected from recycling facilities in central Europe, ground into pellets, melted down and then moulded into the shell of the chair.
"20 years ago, designers were looking at how the product would begin, how it's produced and how it's sold but now I think the end of the product is more important," Sato said. "We really need to focus on what's going to happen after the product is thrown away."

A stack-able chair that is made from recycled household plastics with a lumbar support,such brilliance !!!

[@R3mProductions]

The fundamental this is to be able to give your 3d model to a manufacturer to produce it. You can export 3ds files into various of file types. So it doesn't really matter. Use whatever program you are more comfortable and efficient with

[@argoncor893]

[@sherrylotfy1948]

The chairs r lovely but for me throw in yellow ,beige, greens, black, more color range

[@alialkhatab]

It is very nice chair but can you sit on it for 2 hours or more

[@gurcangokdemir]

Is Rhino fundamental for productions like this? Or can you operate the same process with 3dsmax?

[@harrywilliam1022]

You could use most 3D software, even free ones like Blender. Rhino is notoriously good for surfacing which is creating complex shapes that are more organic looking. But, something like this would be easy enough to create in Solidworks/3DSMax. The design is great though

que programa de diseño es el que se ocupa en donde aparece la silla 3d a manera de lineas? alguien sabe?

[@smoll.miniatures]

I own this, the emeco, series 7 and Eiffel and although comfortable, it’s heavy.
