Matt chair with armrests from Normann Copenhagen

The Mat chair from Normann Copenhagen is an example of how innovation and circularity can be combined to create a modern shell chair with materials that have a lower environmental impact than the current industry standard. Designed by Danish design studio Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen, the chair is the result of several years of research and development. The shell is made of hemp and eelgrass, a type of seaweed, which forms the cornerstone of the design. These materials not only contribute to a more responsible product, but also play an important role in the aesthetics of the design, highlighting the natural beauty and tactility of the materials. With circularity and responsibility as the basic principle, the Mat collection is designed for easy disassembly and recycling, ensuring that the components of the chair can be reused for new productions and enter into a fully circular life cycle.
