A fresh take on comfort

As the first Dutch chair designed with a deposit-return system in mind, the clever Rex leads many lives in one. Designer Ineke Hans created Rex for offices, hospitality, healthcare, education, and the home. Designed to put people at ease and let them be themselves, wherever they gather.

Ineke is known for her inquisitive and critical design style, where both the philosophy and the design itself are of essential importance. The frame fits seamlessly into any setting, and the configuration options make Rex a true all-rounder. The ergonomically shaped seat and backrest, combined with an active sitting posture, ensure you feel lighter when you stand up than when you sat down.

Interwoven and integrated

Rex is made from Econyl regenerated nylon, sourced from waste that would otherwise be discarded and incinerated, such as old carpets, fishing nets, and industrial waste. These are processed to create a pure re-granulate, ready for the production of the base and backrest. The chair's feet and stacking caps are made from a rubber-like material.

Production method

A conscious journey

Using injection molding technology, we bring Rex to life at high speed with minimal material waste. This production process, which runs entirely on green energy and ensures low energy consumption for every component, involves injecting liquid plastic into four different molds under high pressure. Once assembled, they form Rex. The material hardens quickly, after which a robotic arm places the component onto the conveyor belt, on its way to the next stage of its journey.

Use & lifespan

Built for use

Rex features a thoughtful and robust construction, specifically designed for long-term and intensive use. Thanks to the high-quality plastic, the model is strong and durable. The combination of its unique design and material makes this chair a natural choice for a wide range of public spaces.
