Nobody chair by Komplot


This is a Nobody chair designed by Denmark agency Komplot. Inspire by the use of covering cloth to protect the chair, Komplot gives a little twist be removing the chair under the cloth - Only cloth, no chair. But the coolest thing about this chair is the material it uses. NOBODY is produced in one single process by thermo pressing the polymer fibre - PET felt mat (without any kind of the frame).The production process neither demands any additives like glues or resins, nor any additional materials like screws or reinforcements. PET felt is 100% recyclable material produced mainly of used soda/water bottles. Perhaps when one you are fed up with this chair, you can just melt it and a can become a curtain


Python

Surfing in Komplot's website, I found another very cool design. Great design solves problem in an innovative yet simple way, this Python chair certainly is a good example. Hanging a jacket would be much more easiler if every conference rooms and restaurants this chair.

Oscar Ihermitte

Oscar Ihermitte is a current student at Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design major in product design . His main objective is to create connections between the product and user. Although Ihermitte does not label himself as a green or eco-friendly product designer, a lot of his designs involve recycle or sustainable concepts. And these concepts are executed in very clever ways.


X Days Project's 334 - 334 is a bench made with the free newspaper you can get one the street in London.


Edibowls - This is the experiment result of Ihermitte on new combinations of materials. The bowls are made from potato starch and sugar. Ideal for parties, they are 100% edible, 100% biodegradable.


Once upon a year's 394 Yellow Pages - Very clever reuse of yellow page in an alternative way.
