A Chair Made from Recycled Plastic by Snøhetta

Snøhetta presents a chair made from recycled plastic from the North of Norway

Snøhetta is now happy to present one of the projects that were born out of this research. Together with furniture manufacturer Nordic Comfort Products (NCP), Snøhetta has developed a chair with a body made from 100 % recycled plastic from the local fish farming industry in the North of Norway, and a subframe made from recycled steel. By eliminating the need to use new raw material in the production, the chair has obtained a carbon footprint which is one of the lowest in the market. Known as S-1500, the chair is a structural redesign of Norwegian modernist Bendt Winge’s classic R-48 chair from the late sixties, which is also produced by NCP. His R-series line of chairs for schools and offices has sold more than five million units in Norway alone.
