Delo design team collaborates with Eburet Studio and presents Rechair, a sustainable 3D-printed chair made of recycled plastic materials that consists of a comfortable seat and a metal frame connected with bolts and a hex key.
“The work with plastic simply requires a fresh new gaze and we treat this material, usually associated with waste, as a resource comparable with wood or metal, says Delo.
“Our aim is to fabricate technologically advanced objects which can be mass-produced, with the least damage to the environment rather than separate items of conceptual thought.”
Rechair has recently been awarded a 2023 Green Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
This technology enables the creation of complex forms from reliable and durable materials.
Pre-assembled construction and the possibility to stack it facilitate the delivery process, making the model practical for future storage.
The first Rechair was of light gray color, whereas now it is also printed in pink and dark gray.
In the future, all parts of the chair might be recycled again, which makes it as eco-friendly as possible.
The designers do believe that objects made from recycled plastic are not an abstract or distant idea, but a part of the reality we live in.
For this reason, the team aims to create technologically advanced objects rather than separate items of conceptual thought.
Hence, is the introduction of new technologies to mechanics of mass production and treatment of materials, usually associated with trash, as a resource comparable with wood or metal.
