Dezeen Showroom: architect and UNStudio founder Ben van Berkel worked with Dutch office furniture brand Ahrend on a task chair that takes cues from the colourful and ergonomic nature of athletic footwear.
The Remode office chair is fully modular – meaning it can be disassembled and its parts replaced to extend its lifespan – with all components made from 50 per cent recycled materials.
"We had a common interest, Ahrend and UNStudio, in the way how we could enrich sustainable design," said van Berkel. "Ahrend was interested in making the most sustainable, new, contemporary and most iconographic-looking chair."
Van Berkel looked to the world of footwear design to inform the chair, noting that the product category is colourful, supports the body for active movement, and is often at the forefront of new material technologies.
Similarly, Remode supports dynamic movement and long-term comfort through ergonomic features such as a synchro-motion mechanism with optional fine-tuning and adjustable seat depth, lumbar support and armrests.
The chair's material composition includes Envalior's Akulon RePurposed textile, which is made from discarded fishing nets.
It is around 30 per cent lighter than the average task chair thanks to the use of hollow structures and material efficiency.
