The designer’s Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec‘s inspiration for organic shapes shines through with this sustainable chair design. It took these two brothers four years to develop the Vegetal Chair due to its in-depth prototype and injection moulding technology processes involved.

The overall design goal was to create a chair that resembles natural vegetation and was able to incorporate strength, stability and comfort. They succeeded via the chair’s flat, branch-like ribs that form the seat’s shell and mimic certain characteristics of a tree. Suitable for indoor or outdoor applications this chair is made from 100% recyclable polyamide and is manufactured using some of the latest energy-efficient processes.
