Mat Armchair Bar chair cane & fibres brown / H 65 cm - Navy Alga / Beechwood Base, legs - Normann Copenhagen

A Bar chair designed for innovation and circularityWith a focus on innovation and sustainability, the Mat collection comes in a Bar chair version to meet new uses while reducing environmental impact. Its tall Shell is made from Hemp or Eelgrass, a Navy algae, offering a responsible alternative to synthetic materials. True to the principles of the 3. Rs - reduce, reuse, recycle - the Mat bar chair combines ethical commitment with contemporary design. A long-term research projectThe fruit of a long research process led by the Danish studio Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen, the Mat chair is part of a pioneering approach initiated in the late 90s. Peter Hiort-Lorenzen explored natural alternatives to plastic and turned to hemp, renowned for its strength, stability and durability. Innovative, eco-responsible productionThe shell of the Mat bar chair is made from hemp and eelgrass fibers, bonded with a recyclable binder. The mixture is compressed then molded, before being carefully sanded and treated with VOC-free Linseed oil, for a natural, resistant finish. Materials with a low ecological footprintLocally-grown Hemp grows quickly, consumes little water and absorbs CO2. It enables us to make the most of an often neglected agricultural by-product. Eelgrass, meanwhile, is harvested only when it naturally washes up on Danish coasts, without disturbing marine ecosystems. Circular designProduction offcuts are crushed and reintegrated into the manufacturing Chain to create new chairs: a virtuous system with no waste. All components can be dismantled and recycled. A minimalist, ergonomic high seatComfortable and uncluttered, the Mat bar chair rests on an FSC-certified Natural beechwood Legs. Its slender silhouette is equally at home in open kitchens and designer bars. Dimensions:W 64 x D 55 cm x H 100 cm - Seat height: 65 cm.
