Competition: win a recycled plastic Fiber Chair from Muuto

For our latest competition, we've teamed up with Danish furniture brand Muuto to offer readers the chance to win a Fiber Chair in a colour and base of their choice.

Originally launched in 2014, Muuto has released a recycled plastic version of its Fiber Chair as part of a drive to create more sustainable products using reused raw materials.

In celebration of the new generation of Muuto chairs, one lucky Dezeen reader will win a Fiber Armchair or Side Chair in their choice of base and colour.

Muuto has launched a recycled plastic version of its Fiber Chair

Designed by Copenhagen studio Iskos-Berlin, the Fiber Chair was conceived as a "modern yet timeless" take on a classic shell chair.

"One of the most difficult and noble disciplines of design is to create simple, well-functioning, and almost ordinary objects that nevertheless have a strong identity," said Iskos-Berlin. "We designed the Fiber Chair to do just that through a clear sculptural language that refuses to compromise on comfort."

The shell of the Fiber chair is made from a composite of plastic and wood fibres, which gives it a distinct surface with a soft, matte touch.

80 per cent of the plastic used is recycled from post-industrial waste from the manufacturing of eyewear.

The shell of the Fiber Chair is made from a composite of plastic and FSC-certified wood fibers

"It is a chair stripped of all unnecessary layers," the studio explained. "The iconic form marries soft, embracing curves with an innovative wood fibre composite, giving the Fiber Chair a unique expression and tactile texture."

The chair is available in Muuto's signature colours, including Black, Dusty Green, Grey, Ochre and White. Customers can choose from an oak, metal, or swivel base.

The chair is available in a range of colours including Dusty Green

Other products by Muuto include the solid oak top 70/70 table by Swedish architecture and design studio TAF, which balances "simple Scandinavian aesthetics" with the warmth of layered wood, and the Outline Daybed by Norwegian studio Anderssen & Voll, which is distinguished by its "understated yet characterful proportions".

The brand is also known for its adaptable workplace products, including Danish designer Thomas Bentzen's Linear System Series, a range of tables, lighting, screens, and trays that have been designed to fit as comfortably in an office as they do a hospitality venue.

Founded in 2006, Muuto is a Danish design company "rooted in the Scandinavian design tradition characterised by enduring aesthetics, functionality, craftsmanship and an honest expression".

With showrooms across the globe, the brand aims to deliver new perspectives on Scandinavian design through its use of diverse materials and techniques.

Competition closes on 10 April. Terms and conditions apply. One reader will win a Muuto unupholstered Fiber Armchair or Side Chair in their choice of colour and base. The winner will be selected at random and notified by email. This competition is open to readers in Europe only.

Ekstrem chair by Terje Ekstrøm for Varier

Dezeen Showroom: Norwegian brand Varier has rereleased a classic piece of postmodernist furniture, the Ekstrem chair, in new fabric options.

The Ekstrem chair has been largely unchanged since its launch in 1984 and is now available in a knitted velvet fabric called Gentle 2 from Danish upholstery brand Kvadrat.

The shape of the Esktrem chair allows users to sit in a number of different positions

Originally created by industrial designer Terje Ekstrøm, the Ekstrem chair has a playful and organic shape that is designed to become a statement piece in any room.

"Adding character to any space, Ekstrem's qualities of premium design make it a stand-alone object while offering an out-of-the-ordinary sitting experience through its playful functionality," said Varier. "Sit forward, sideways, turn all the way around, or kick your feet up on the armrests and discover comfort in new ways."

The chair is now available in Gentle 2 fabric, which stretches around the tubular form

The Ekstrem chair achieves its shape from a tubular steel frame with polyurethane foam padding. The upholstery is made up of 28 separate pieces of fabric that are sewn together and manually fitted to the unique shape of the chair.

The velvet Gentle 2 fabric is available in six colours, including orange, rose, blue, green, black and white.

Ekstrem was originally created in 1984 by Norwegian designer Terje Ekstrøm

"The knitted stretch velvet has a voluminous expression, featuring a rich surface with an elegant shine," said the brand.

"With its excellent stretchability, the fabric clings to curves in a particularly elegant way, making it ideal for upholstering organic shapes and the perfect fit for Ekstrem."

Tabloid desk by Blu Dot

Dezeen Showroom: created by US brand Blu Dot, the Tabloid desk is designed to bring a pop of colour and a cosy feeling into any work environment.

"With Tabloid, we set out to design a desk with useful storage that could live comfortably both at home or in an office," said Blu Dot.

The Tabloid desk's Forbo linoleum top is an opportunity to add colour

The desk features a wood frame topped with Forbo linoleum, which Blu Dot chose to bring warmth and an opportunity for colour. The powder-coated steel legs are colour matched to the tabletop.

A wraparound gallery creates a feeling of cosiness and privacy for the user, while the slim steel legs make the piece look light and suspended in space.

A cable management space at the top of the desk hides power cords out of sight

There is substantial space for storage, including a covered cord management nook on the back edge of the tabletop, and two drawers with metal slides.

Tabloid is available in three colour combinations including a black tabletop with walnut wood veneer, a navy green tabletop with white oak veneer, and a putty grey tabletop with white oak veneer.

Cross Bar chair by Pearson Lloyd for Takt

Dezeen Showroom: London-based design studio Pearson Lloyd aimed to bring the ethos of replaceability to an overlooked furniture type with the Cross Bar chair, created for Takt.

"The Cross Bar chair extends Takt's commitment to full replaceability and repairability to a new furniture category, delivering an efficient solution to the bar-stool market," said Pearson Loyd co-founder Luke Pearson.

The Cross Bar chair is repairable with replaceable components

Its repairable nature makes the stool particularly good for hospitality and workplace settings, although aesthetically it is just as suited to the home.

The Cross Bar chair comes in two heights and is made of timber that is available in three different finishes: oiled oak, smoked oak and black-lacquered oak.

It is made of timber with an optionally upholstered seat

The chair is designed to prioritise comfort and has a backrest that Pearson Lloyd also favours because it gives the stool a "definite orientation".

The seat can be optionally upholstered in a choice of three eco-labelled textile colours including sand grey, dark petrol or golden ochre or in cognac or black leather that has the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

Michael Graves Design creates "visually appealing" medical furniture for CVS

American studio Michael Graves Design has created a collection of home healthcare products for a major US pharmacy that is meant to "enhance people's lives with moments of joy".

The collection, called CVS Health by Michael Graves Design, features six items that fall into one of two categories – mobility or bath safety. The products include a shower chair designed to look like real furniture and a foldable walker.

CVS Health by Michael Graves Design is a range of accessible products for the home

Michael Graves Design, which was founded by AIA Gold Medal-winning architect Michael Graves, began the design process with a research phase that included interviews and in-house observations with users, caregivers and clinicians.

That research informed the design of the final products, which are intended to be both attractive and highly functional – a rarity in the world of home medical equipment.

Michael Graves Design created the collection for the popular US pharmacy chain

"We are reinventing the home healthcare category with products that are research-insight driven, visually appealing, full of character and purpose, and that enhance people's lives with moments of joy," said the New Jersey-based studio.

The products help elevate the "quality and dignity that consumers should expect", said design principal Donald Strum.

"We are thrilled by the collaboration and the powerful change it will bring to disabled people, elders and the people who provide care for all of us."

The range can be divided into mobility and bath safety products

Among the bathroom products is a shower chair that converts to a stool. It features a rustproof aluminum frame, a contoured seat that wicks away water, a removable backrest, and a built-in holder for a shower sprayer.

The Convertible Shower Chair & Stool is designed to mimic "actual furniture", and to blend with contemporary bathroom finishes and materials.

The Convertible Shower Chair & Stool has a rust-proof frame

The bath line also includes a 3-in-1 Comfort Commode that is suitable for a bedroom, living room or bathroom. It includes swing-away armrests and an extra-wide lid that enables the piece to be used as a chair.

Also in the bath line is the Raised Toilet Seat with a quick-locking mechanism that enables it to be connected and removed without the use of tools.

Raised Toilet Seat has a quick locking mechanism

For the mobility line, the team conceived the Easy Fold Travel Walker. This has two wheels and a grip that angles down toward the front, helping improve the user's posture and wrist comfort. Other features include integrated brakes and easy height adjustment, along with a foldable design.

"Its unique centre column chassis looks cool, and also facilitates easier fold, better balanced carry and easier storage," the team said.

The other mobility aids are the C Grip Cane, which has a crescent-shaped handle, and the Folding Cane, which is easy to store and has magnets that keep it securely folded up.

In addition to being lightweight and height adjustable, both canes feature square-shaped shafts made of aluminium and two interchangeable feet. They are offered in several colours.

Easy Fold Travel Walker is a foldable zimmer frame

The healthcare products align with the spirit of Michael Graves Design, which was founded in 1964 by Graves, who died in 2015 at the age of 80.

In addition to noted architectural works such as Oregon's Portland Building, Graves designed mass consumer products for companies such as Alessi, Target and JC Penney.

The two canes in the collection are made with aluminium shafts

After Graves became paralysed in 2003 due to an infection, he adapted his Princeton, New Jersey, home for life in a wheelchair.

Graves became an advocate for accessible design and created related products, such wheelchairs and hospital furnishings. His aim was to improve healthcare and the caregiving experience through design.

They both come in a range of colours

"Michael became a passionate voice among the disabled and used the power of design to improve healthcare experiences for patients, families and clinicians," his firm said.

CVS – one of the top American pharmacies – said it selected Michael Graves Design because it was a "design for all" pioneer that was "uniquely qualified to design transformative home healthcare products".

Other medical products include Flow X by Pearson Lloyd, a stairlift for the home that is meant to be aesthetically appealing, and a lightweight wheelchair by Phoenix Instinct that uses smart technology to improve its functionality.

Worm by Clap Studio for Missana

Dezeen Showroom: Valencian studio Clap Studio has designed a modular sofa bench informed by millipedes for Spanish furniture brand Missana.

Named the Worm, after its millipede-like shape, the sofa bench offers interiors a playful and fun addition that can change and adapt according to the needs of the space and users.

The Worm chair can be upholstered in a range of different fabrics

The bench is made up of three modules, an end module, a straight module and a curved module, all of which can be used to create an infinite number of seating configurations.

The modules are comprised of two elements, the rounded upholstered seat and the internal structure which includes a metal base and legs, designed to look like the legs of a millipede.

It can be used in residential, workplace or hospitality settings

"We were inspired by the playful and round shape of the 'millipede' worms that we have all known since we were children."

"The shape of this worm, its way of curving and moving inspired us to create the first system for Missana," said Clap Studio creative director Jordi Iranzo.

Lyra lounge chair by Andreas Engesvik for Fogia

**Dezeen Showroom: **made for Swedish brand Fogia, Andreas Engesvik set out to combine the comforts of an easy chair with uncompromising aesthetics in the Lyra lounge Chair.

The Lyra lounge chair combines the graphic lines of a metal frame with the soft, flexible shapes of ample cushioning.

The Lyra lounge chair is meant to deliver supreme comfort without compromising on aesthetics

Between the two is a canvas seat – a material that Engesvik chose for its natural feel and that has the added benefit of being light, so the chair is easy to move despite its size.

Fogia describes the comfort of Lyra as being similar to sinking into a pile of pillows and says the chair is destined to become a favourite in whatever room it is placed.

Its metal legs are available in a selection of four neutral RAL colours

"Lyra Lounge is a good example of what Fogia always tries to achieve – the mix of non-compromise in design, materials, and comfort – that gives our customers a product that they can love and pass on for generations to come," said Fogia CEO Marcus Huber.

Lyra can be ordered with a matching footstool and upholstered in either textile or leather. Its base combines a standard canvas hue with a choice of neutral RAL colours for the legs.

Inferences/Inferencias exhibition aims to "arouse curiosity towards contemporary design"

Barcelona-based gallery Il-lacions has opened an exhibition at Madrid Design Festival that features over 70 furnishings, sculptures and design pieces in an effort to explore contemporary design.

The theme of the exhibition is centred around its name, Inferences/Inferencias, which Il-lacions described as "the action and effect of inferring one thing from another, a link between ideas, the consequence of something."

Inferences/Inferencias is a group exhibition that was exhibited as part of Madrid Design Festival

The gallery selected one piece of work by each of the artists it represents, who were then asked to become co-curators of the exhibition and invite a designer, maker or artist whom they admired to also exhibit a piece of work.

The resulting 74 sculptures and furniture pieces displayed in the exhibition were arranged on and around a large angular display table that was finished to mimic concrete.

A wooden stool by Sanna Völker is a tribute to architect Louis Kahn

All of the works in the show focus on one or more topics specified by the gallery, such as research and development in new materials, object functionality, sustainability and production processes.

"We would like to arouse curiosity towards contemporary design, visitors can read about the pieces and even touch them with care," Il-lacions told Dezeen. "We would like them to learn about materials, functionality and ingenuity in design."

A light installation titled Ignoring Helena by Michael Roschach is placed nearby Burned Ode Chair by Sizar Alexis

"We hope people understand the amount of work behind each piece, there’s a lot of research and experimentation," the gallery said.

"These are inspirational objects that contribute to giving interiors something more than just a function, they are emotional and unique," it added.

Antoni Arola creates architecture "from light" for Madrid Design Festival

](https://www.dezeen.com/2022/02/25/antoni-arola-simon-fiat-lux-architectures-of-light-installation-madrid-design-festival/)

"We would like to stimulate new views on design and thinking to shape contemporary values, and together with the creators to generate a cultural heritage that reflects this time and this place," the gallery said.

Among the pieces on display is Joel Blanco's Shiba-Inu dog sculpture with a built-in ASIC cryptocurrency miner. This uses the exhibition space's electricity to mine Dogecoin and is a commentary on financial freedom and an anarcho-capitalist future, according to the designer.

Also exhibited is a Jesmonite and fibreglass chair by Six N. Five, embedded with an authentication chip built on Blockchain technology that allows the piece to be minted as an NFT.

Objects, fixtures and furnishings were hung from walls and placed throughout the gallery space

A number of the works on show also feature reused and recycled materials.

"Josep Vila Capdevila is reusing pieces from old factories (fluorescents, cables, a pulley) and he mixes it with noble materials such as marble to create the Suspended Lamp exhibited – he classifies this piece as 'Random Luxury'," the gallery said.

"The 'Aluminium Block' side table by Toni Pallejà is reinterpreting industrial materials, transforming them into elements that convey luxury and fashion."

The exhibition features 74 objects, furnishings and sculptures that discuss contemporary design

Il-lacions was founded in 2011 by Xavier Franquesa. Inferences/Inferencias forms part of the fifth edition of Madrid Design Festival, a month-long event that transforms the city into a design hub.

Also exhibited at this year's edition is a light installation by Antoni Arola that forms architecture from light. Previous editions saw Jorge Penadés invite 14 designers to showcase "bold ideas in small boxes".

The photography is by Asier Rua.

Inferences/Inferencias is on display at the Cultural Centre of Villa Fernán-Gómez as part of Madrid Design Festival, which takes place from 15 February to 13 March 2022. See Dezeen Events Guide for all the latest architecture and design events taking place around the world.

Big Sur Low coffee table by Simon Klenell and Kristoffer Sundin for Fogia

Dezeen Showroom: glass artist Simon Klenell and carpenter Kristoffer Sundin aimed to combine their preferred materials to striking effect when designing the Big Sur Low coffee table for Fogia.

Described by Fogia as "confident and elegant", the Big Sur Low table has a thin tinted glass top sitting on smooth wooden legs.

The Big Sur Low coffee table contrasts a glass top with wooden legs

The furniture piece is named after the Big Sur area of California, which is characterised by the meeting of rocky cliffs and blue ocean.

Similarly, the table combines wood and glass to create an intriguing interplay of colours and textures, while its transparent top creates a sense of lightness that belies its generous size.

It is the result of a collaboration between glass artist Simon Klenell and carpenter Kristoffer Sundin

"The beauty of Big Sur Low is the exciting contrast of glass meeting wood, and how the transparency of the glass allows the table to come alive by its surroundings," said Klenell and Sundin.

Big Sur Low's glass top is available in a choice of four colours – transparent, green, brown or anthracite. The legs come in Fogia's standard oak finishes of oiled, lacquered, light, wenge, smoked oak, black, grey, white, dark blue and dark green.

Silent Room acoustic pod by Narbutas

Dezeen Showroom: workplace furniture brand Narbutas has added new customisation options to its Silent Room acoustic pods, offering a glass back wall for a transparent and light-filled office environment.

Narbutas' Silent Room acoustic pods create "a room within a room" in open workspaces, giving employees a private space to make calls, hold small meetings or focus on complex tasks.

A new customisation option for Narbutas' Silent Room pods allows for transparent glass walls on both sides

The new version of the pod has a transparent glass back-wall insert instead of the classic upholstered exterior back panel, which is a good option for settings where it would be undesirable to block light.

Narbutas suggests this option for the middle of open-plan workplaces or for areas that are close to windows or glass partitions.

The pods allow a quiet, private space for focused work or calls

As with all Silent Room variations, the pod comfortably fits up to four people and is equipped with USB type A and C connectors for charging devices.

It features low-noise fans that maintain good air quality and LED lamps that Narbutas says create a "warm and homely" atmosphere within, all kept at an optimal setting by smart controls.

Arholma outdoor collection by Alexander Lervik for Skargaarden

Dezeen Showroom: designer Alexander Lervik has expanded his Arholma outdoor furniture collection for Skargaarden, adding additional pieces that aim to be both minimalistic and distinctive.

The Arholma collection of outdoor dining and lounge furniture now includes new chairs, tables, a sofa and sun lounger, all of which is characterised by angled slender metal frames.

The Arholma collection is designed to be both minimalistic and distinctive

Lervik first developed the design with a cafe chair, launched in 2021, for which he aimed to be as minimalistic as possible while creating something with a distinctive character.

"I found an identity in the form that I later infused throughout the whole collection so that it is clear that the pieces belong together," said Alexander Lervik.

The new pieces in the collection include a sofa, a sun lounger and tables

The Arholma collection is made of galvanised powder-coated aluminium and durable outdoor fabrics. Skargaarden recommends it for both public settings and private terraces.

It positions Arholma as a sustainable choice that, owing to the durability of its materials and timelessness of its design, will last through the decades.

Hoard Storage Tables by Blu Dot

*Dezeen Showroom: * furniture brand Blu Dot has created Hoard Storage Tables, featuring natural wood grain and biomorphic outlines.

The tables come in three sizes low, medium and tall, and can be used alone as an end table, or in a cluster of varying sizes.

The three sizes of Hoard Storage Tables can be used individually or in combination

The table features a tactile, beveled-edge lid that lifts off completely to reveal a hollow interior for storage. The base is padded with felt to make it easy on flooring.

"The design inspiration came from an exploration of irregular tessellating shapes, while the final form is soft it is still mathematically derived, creating a nice balance between nature and the human touch" explained Blu Dot.

The piece comes in two finish options, black and natural wood

The tables are made from solid acacia wood and come in natural wood or black finish options.

Valentina Up outdoor furniture collection by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco for Diabla

Dezeen Showroom: plump cushions combine with thin crisscrossing metal frames in the Valentina Up outdoor furniture collection, created by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco for Diabla.

The Valentina Up collection is an update to Gandía-Blasco's previous Valentina collection, and keeps the same emphasis on ample cushioning but lifting the previously legless chairs off the ground.

The Valentina Up collection combines plump cushions with thin crisscrossing metal frames

"I tried to design with the minimum number of elements to give more prominence to the cushions and to make them a structural element rather than a decorative one, or an accessory to an armchair," said Gandía-Blasco.

Described by Diabla as light, fun and elegant, the Valentina Up collection incorporates an armchair, two-seater sofa, lounger and tables of two different sizes.

The slender legs are made from zinc-plated iron rods

All feature slender, V-shaped zinc-plated iron rod legs, and with the raised height, the chairs now make sitting down and getting up easier.

Valentina Up is available in a range of colours, and its cushions feature removable covers made from high-quality outdoor fabrics from the likes of Sunbrella, Dedar and Kvadrat.

Muuto relaunches Fiber Chair with recycled plastic shell

Promotion: Danish furniture brand Muuto has released a recycled plastic version of its Fiber Chair designed by Copenhagen studio Iskos-Berlin.

Muuto originally launched the chair in 2014, and its reintroduction is part of a drive to create more sustainable products using reused raw materials.

Muuto has launched a recycled plastic version of its Fiber Chair

"The Fiber Chair is one of our most popular designs, a modern yet timeless chair," said Muuto.

"Taking the leap from virgin to recycled plastic in its production feels like an ambitious starting point in becoming more circular in our consumption of raw material."

The shell chair is now made from a combination of recycled plastic of which 80 per cent is recycled

Designed by Iskos-Berlin, the Fiber Chair was created as a modern take on a classic archetypal shell chair.

"One of the most difficult and noble disciplines of design is to create simple, well-functioning, and almost ordinary objects that nevertheless have a strong identity," said Iskos and Berlin.

The recycled plastic shell is mixed with FSC certified wood fibres to create a matt and tactile surface

"We designed the Fiber Chair to do just that through a clear sculptural language that refuses to compromise on comfort," it continued.

"It is a chair stripped of all unnecessary layers. The iconic form marries soft, embracing curves with an innovative wood fiber composite, giving the Fiber Chair a unique expression and tactile texture."

The wood fibres are visible from close up

The chair's shell is made from a composite of plastic and wood fibres, which gives it a matt finish and distinct appearance.

80 per cent of the plastic used is recycled from post-industrial waste from the manufacturing of glasses.

The blend of recycled plastic and wood fibres intends to give the chair a unique look with "a fine aesthetic detail making the design come alive with tactility".

Muuto's relaunched chair is available in the exact same colour range as the original chair, including Black, Dusty Green, Grey, Ochre and White with options of oak, metal and swivel bases.

The chair is available in a range of colours including Ochre

"We at Muuto continuously question our approach and methods to arrive at new perspectives on Scandinavian design," said Muuto.

"The new version of the Fiber Chair in recycled plastic is the result of a challenge we posed to ourselves – to reimagine the way we work with recycled plastic."

"To create something strong and durable from recycled materials that could match our distinctive color palette and endure daily wear and tear. This complex yet thrilling challenge led us into novel fields of research, inspiring us to develop a new composite material in the process."

Bauhaus chairs by Erich Dieckmann for TYP

**Dezeen Showroom: **Austrian brand TYP has reissued a trio of chairs by seminal Bauhaus furniture designer Erich Dieckmann and adapted them for modern use.

The Dieckmann by TYP collection is centred on D1, a wooden chair with a cubic frame and curved backrest designed to fit into a variety of different interiors.

TYP has reissued the D1 (top image) and D1+ chair (above) by Erich Dieckmann

It also includes two variations on this design – a version with armrests called D1+ and one with slanted hind legs and a simplified backrest called D2.

Originally created by Dieckmann around 1930, the seating designs were early examples of Typenmöbel, meaning furniture optimised for standardised mass production.

The D2 chair has slanted hind legs and a simplified backrest

All their components were carefully measured and fabricated to fit the human body, in a bid to guarantee comfort despite their wooden frames.

TYP has brought the Bauhaus chairs up to date by reengineering their joints and adapting their sizes for modern users, all while preserving their original proportions.

"Each piece is simple yet functional, stringently geometric yet adaptable to the human posture," said TYP. "What applies to all is easy to produce and fairly priced products that don’t compromise quality."

The chairs can be finished in three different kinds of wood and six different colours

The chairs are available in hardwearing Robinia wood for use outdoors and in oak or ash wood for interior purposes.

The ash can also be dyed in six different colours including black, white, baby blue and olive green. The wooden seats can be left plain, swapped out for wickerwork or upholstered in a range of textiles and leathers.

Onsen furniture collection by Francesco Meda and David Quincoces for Gandia Blasco

Dezeen Showroom: designers Francesco Meda and David Quincoces have expanded their Onsen collection for Gandia Blasco, adding more outdoor furniture styles that reference the materiality of tanned leather.

The Onsen collection of lounge chairs, sofas and coffee tables is made with tubular steel, outdoor fabrics, and weather-resistant vinyl straps, which appear like natural leather.

The Onsen collection references the elegant beauty of artisanal leather

These contrasting materials are combined into compositions that are meant to exude calm and balance, in a manner recalling Japanese architecture and design.

At the same time, they are designed to be robust, with the matt stainless steel offering high resistance and durability, and the waterproof upholstery being removable for cleaning.

The collection is meant to exude calm and balance

"Onsen's success is that it has been the result of a long research process that has taken us into unexplored land and has led to innovations both in construction techniques and in the selection of materials," said Meda.

Gandia Blasco encourages the placement of Onsen furniture in interior and exterior spaces, including hotels or private homes.
