Whale chair - concept
/ 2018
The Whale Chair explores the idea of a mono-material piece of furniture that is both expressive and sustainable. Made entirely from renewable polycarbonate, it uses compression molding, a low-energy process that consolidates recycled PC flakes or pellets into a continuous shell. By integrating ribs and flowing transitions into the geometry, the chair achieves structural strength with reduced material mass, lowering both weight and embodied carbon. The result is a single-material object that remains recyclable at end of life, uniting clarity of form with clarity of process.
