Werner Aisslinger – Grow Your Own Chair

At Electric Trends I found the chair farm mentioned first. I knew Werner is into green design (see his Hemp Chair), but this furthers it. Growing your own chair with a mold. Clever!

On display at Ventura Lambrata’s “Poetry Happens” this Hemp chair by Berlin, Germany, and Singapore based Werner Aisslinger:

A monobloc chair made of natural fibers, a project supported by the German chemical company BASF.
The Hemp Chair has been designed for a lightweight manufacturing process stemming from the car industry: the renewable raw materials hemp and kenaf are compressed with a water-based thermoset binder to form an eco-friendly, lightweight and yet strong composite.
