I love the clean simplicity of the Pulp Chair. A contemporary and sophisticated seating option, it somehow reminds me of an egg carton because of the way it is shaped and colored, not to mention the fact that it does look like it was created out of pulp (it is actually made out of polypropylene).
Created by French industrial designer Christophe Pillet, the Pulp Chair was designed for Kristalia. Although it appears as though it is inspired by the Panton S chair, it is, however, more more boxy and structured than its curvy counterpart.
Resistant to wear and tear as well as stackable, the Pulp Chair is available in a few finishes including white, black, beige, red and brown. Because of its minimalist aesthetic, it would fit in virtually anywhere.
