Élémentaire Chair / Story
With Élémentaire, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec set out to create a chair that is both aesthetically and physically balanced with a sustainable profile. Élémentaire uses 100% recycled polypropylene and the latest technology to create an eco-friendly chair that is robust enough to be a long-lasting object while still appearing delicate. Precise proportions and a clear profile give Élémentaire a charm that allows it to stand out on its own or look strong in a group. Designed for everyday life, Élémentaire fulfils basic needs in a balance of beauty and strength. Locally produced in Denmark, its durability and resilience make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
