Description

A green chair made using the same blow moulding technique as used for bottles. After blow moulding the legs and seat, the hollow space is filled with high pressure air which creates strong, structural components. This method of production means the use of plastic is kept to a minimum and the totla weight of the chair is only about 1kg. The legs screw into the seat.
