Polimair

100% Recycled Monomaterial Design Chair

Polimair recycled plastic chair

Eco-designed, aesthetic, and durable furniture

Polimair is a designer chair made from post-industrial recycled plastic, combining comfort, strength, and circularity. Its goal: to reduce the environmental footprint of manufacturing while maintaining a sleek, modern look.

The client’s objective was to create a monomaterial chair — 100% recycled — ensuring total recyclability at end of life, while meeting the mechanical and ergonomic requirements of professional furniture.

Our technical approach

An optimized design process balancing aesthetics, mechanics, and plastics engineering.
