Kwart
Green pioneering
Industrial designer Ton Haas created Kwart, a design that perfectly reflects his vision of durability and elegance. The goal: a lightweight chair, versatile, yet ironclad.
Ton analyzed the life cycle and drew inspiration for his design from it. The result is a chair with an eco-footprint of just €0.25, by far the lowest among all chairs currently available on the market. An appropriate name was quickly found.
But Kwart not only sounds good - it lives well. Every reason for us to embrace the design and reintroduce it to a wider audience.
Stronger together
Kwart consists of two types of residual streams: recycled polypropylene, obtained from bumpers, caps, toys and trays, among other things, and wood fibers generated as a waste product at a local sawmill. After a careful sorting process, we combine these residual streams. By grinding and fusing the materials, Kwart is created: a chair composed of 70% plastic and 30% wood fiber.
The road to efficiency.
The injection molding technique allows us to work in an efficient and cost-effective manner, minimizing product waste. We heat regranulate and inject it under high pressure into our pre-formed mold. After cooling, Kwart is ready to conquer the world. With minimal use of raw materials and energy, this technique helps us further towards a greener future.
At home everywhere
Kwart thrives on variety, from lively canteens and busy workplaces to home interiors and packed patios. Its durable construction and lightweight design make it ideally suited for moving and stacking. With high-quality materials and a circular design, Kwart effortlessly blends into the lives of anyone striving for a sustainable lifestyle, with the intention to last.
