Affordable, versatile and responsible, with Bell Chair,
Konstantin Grcic and Magis have developed a contemporary monobloc chair made entirely from recycled polypropylene obtained from the waste generated by Magis’ own furniture production and from the local car industry. The patented material excludes almost all “virgin or new” materials and can be recycled again 100% after use. This way, Bell Chair forms an almost closed material cycle.
“Our aim was to develop a high-quality chair with the bare minimum of material,” says Grcic.
“This target was important to us for ecological reasons, but also from a commercial point of view.”
The chair weighs just 2.7 kilograms, making it at least one and a half kilos lighter than average plastic chairs. This fact is a testament to the use of less material and causes less energy consumption during production. The key to this saving lies in the ingenious shell shape of the chair. Its bulbous geometry is not only structurally strong, but it also makes the chair extraordinarily comfortable and visually appealing.
