With innovation and circularity at its core, Mat is an exploration of how to create a contemporary shell chair with more sustainable materials than the industry norm. Designed by Danish design studio Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen and brought to life via a collaboration with Danish Technological Institute, this new chair design is the result of years of research and development. Referencing the material innovation at the core of the design, Mat, short for materials, is a chair design crafted from the highly renewable, durable materials of hemp and eelgrass, a type of seaweed. The collection encompasses dining chairs, armchairs and several bar seating variants all of which come in two versions of hemp or hemp with added eelgrass. All variants are available with full or front upholstery in numerous options. From Normann Copenhagen.
