Polimair
Eco-designed 100% mono-material recycled chair
Eco-designed, aesthetic and sustainable furniture
Polimair is a design chair developed from post-industrial recycled plastic, engineered to combine comfort, strength and circularity. Its ambition: reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing while delivering a modern and lightweight aesthetic.
The client's goal: design a mono-material chair — 100% recycled — to guarantee full recyclability at end of life, while meeting the mechanical requirements of professional furniture.
Our technical approach
A design optimized between aesthetics, mechanics and plastics processing.
Design & ergonomics
A fluid and refined design serving the user experience.
- + Industrial manufacturing solution
- + 3D modeling and aesthetic optimization
- + Respect for the client's design
Structure & strength
A mechanical design ensuring solidity and durability.
- + FEM calculations and load simulation
- + Validation of 150 kg load and dynamic bending
- + Optimization of thicknesses and internal ribs
Plastics & molding
A measured production optimized for recycling.
- + Injectability study and choice of recycled polymer
- + Definition of the parting line and draft angles
- + Industrialization of the high-volume mold
- + Process validation and quality control
Results & impact
Polimair demonstrated the feasibility of design-led, sustainable furniture with a low carbon footprint. Its mono-material design simplifies the recycling chain and significantly reduces the environmental cost of production.
Status: industrialized product — series production in progress
