Country of origin = France (designer), Denmark (manufacturer). ERPR Score = 7 (below average). Made from post industrial polypropylene but with 20% fibreglass added the chair is only made from 80% recycled material and cannot be recycled at the end of life. While the chair is a light, inexpensive monobloc it is not designed to stack and is transported in cartons of two units. Six colour choices are available, with a wider range of coloured pads for the seat available as an optional extra (made from virgin polyurethane foam).
