Materials

Zuiver is experimenting with sustainable materials such as elephant grass bioplastic, seaweed bioplastic, and plastic upcycled from PET bottles, the last of which debuted this year as the Thirsty dining chair. Designed in collaboration with Amsterdam-based APE Studio, the shell of each chair is made from 60 to 100 plastic bottles, while the powdercoated steel frame is available with or without armrests.
