Sculptural Recycled Plastic Chairs

The 'Super' Chair is Artistic Yet Inherently Comfortable

— March 30, 2023 — Art & Design
The 'Super' chair has been designed by Nicholas Baker for Damiano Latini as a sculptural yet functional piece of furniture that's perfect for elevating the aesthetic of a dining space. The chair features a distinct silhouette that is structured yet organic and achieved using injection molding with 100% recycled polypropylene before being covered in a SILKY finish. The chair is made with RE-LIFE technology to prioritize a sustainable form, which makes use of offcuts and waste from the design industry with no use of fossil fuels.

The 'Super' chair is expected to be shown off at Salone Del Mobile 2023 in Milan, Italy and could be the next must-have piece for modern living spaces. The chair is observed in white and red color options.
