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.

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.

"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.

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.

Muuto relaunches Fiber Chair with recycled plastic shell

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

"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.

"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 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.

"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."
