Note:
Although this chair is billed as 'the most sustainable so far' it achieved a below average score in this analysis. The shell is made from used coffee beans but mixed with nearly 60% virgin polypropylene. The base is made from painted ash. The product then needs to be dismantled at end-of-life and the shell cannot be reprocessed. The indoor chair is available in one configuration with only one colour choice and cannot be stacked (but is shipped disassembled in cartons of 2 units).
