Alpina Chair by  for .

Born from the desire to create a chair that aligns with the Circular Economy model, the Alpina chair is not only elegant and versatile but is also 100% recyclable. Designed by renowned British designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby in 2022, the backrest is made from bio-based polypropylene produced using 100% organic waste cooking oils. Green and versatile, this new material has excellent properties. It is durable and reusable with up to 80% reduction in CO2 footprint during production.

The seat and legs are made from FSC-certified solid ash wood. The design of the chair is inspired by classical alpine furniture tradition that emphasises simplicity and multifunctionality. Elegant and versatile with simple clean lines, the chair is great for both residential and contract use.

Alpina is available in three different finishes: natural ash seat and legs with an olive green backrest, natural ash seat and legs with a beige backrest, and black stained ash seat and legs with a black backrest.

“As designers, we have a great responsibility to adopt a sustainable and circular approach at the core of our working practice. First and foremost we design with longevity in mind…Every piece we launch is intended to be passed down through the generations as a coveted heirloom…The bioplastic utilised in the design of Alpina is a step towards a future where all new designs are created from responsible materials, with both hardwearing and recyclable properties.” Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby say.
