Bundle - a biobased chair
The Bundle chair is the result of material-driven research into biobased composites in furniture design. Through extensive experimentation, we developed a stackable, lightweight mono-material chair by thermo-pressing flax fibres and PLA into rigid shells. The chair weighs 2.5 kg, with about half of that weight being bio-based plastic.
The project emphasizes material-driven design guided by creativity and curiosity, using biobased composites to challenge traditional plastic furniture construction. By splitting the chair into smaller components, we improved material efficiency and introduced a craft-like quality uncommon in plastic furniture. The incorporation of flax fibres into a PLA matrix makes the composite both biobased and biodegradable, reducing environmental impact.
