Description
Made entirely from recycled materials, the A.I. chair has been designed using human and artificial intelligence to create an innovative seating solution that's kinder to the environment. Its injection-moulded shape is made from a 100% recycled thermoplastic techno-polymer, that's been obtained from pure scrap material and turned back into uncontaminated, new raw material. The result: a modern, comfortable and structurally impressive chair that is suitable for use both inside and outdoors. The A.I. chair is a collaboration between designer Philippe Starck, Kartell and Autodesk, an American company that leads in the production of 3D engineering and entertainment software. They exploited the use of artificial technology so that the designer could do more with less material in order to avoid unnecessary waste and respect the environment. Plus, this activates a system of circular economy, while reducing the emissions necessary for its production. Want to see it first?

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
