The N02 Recycle chair has been designed by Japan-based studio Nendo for Denmark-based furniture brand Fritz Hansen as an eco-friendly solution for the home or professional environment. The chair is crafted from recycled polypropylene and draws design inspiration from a creased piece of paper for an elegant yet decidedly simple aesthetic. The chair has been created in an array of color options and helps to reposition the idea of recycled consumer products as a high-end concept instead of being perceived as a lower quality alternative to alternatives made with virgin materials.
The N02 Recycle chair will come in three style options to choose from and will be available starting in November 2010 from Fritz Hansen.
