NETTLE ARMCHAIR
"Imagine a modern, bright, and airy living room with white walls and large windows that allow natural light to filter in. In the center of the room, there’s a unique and captivating armchair made entirely of natural grass, its modern design harmoniously blending with the surrounding environment.
The armchair features clean lines and elegant curves, creating a fascinating contrast with the soft, green texture of the grass. The vibrant green shade of the armchair serves as a refreshing focal point in the living room. Around the armchair, several plants in modern pots add a sense of nature and vitality to the setting.
The floor is covered with a neutral and soft material, perhaps a lightweight rug, further accentuating the modern design of the room. Suspended light fixtures from the ceiling add a touch of elegance, gently illuminating the scene without harsh shadows.
It’s a serene and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for relaxation, where nature seamlessly merges with modern design in a harmonious way."
Now, let’s envision a set of relaxation armchairs that embrace Biophilic design and promote a holistic approach to overall well-being. A true blend of nature, comfort, and sustainability.

Beyond comfort and aesthetics, we prioritize the physical and mental well-being of the user. Our holistic philosophy embraces the connection with nature, harmony with the surrounding environment, and the promotion of overall global wellness.

Our environmental sustainability also encompasses economic sustainability. For us, the circular economy is inseparable from our creations, considering the entire product lifecycle from production to end-of-life recovery.
Design for Longevity: The armchairs are meticulously designed to stand the test of time. High-quality materials and robust assembly ensure a prolonged useful life.
Regeneration and Revamping: Beyond recycling, we explore regeneration or revamping interventions to extend the armchairs’ lifespan. For instance, we offer the option to replace worn parts or renew the upholstery.
End-of-Life Recovery: When the armchairs reach the end of their life cycle, we promote material recycling and reuse. The wood could be repurposed into new objects or used for energy production. The plant-based upholstery might be sustainably disposed of or even regenerated for other purposes.
Our desire is for these armchairs to not only provide comfort and a connection with nature but also serve as an example of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
