N02 Recycle
- Description
- Designer Bio
The N02™ Recycle is a multi-use chair made from
upcycled plastic household waste that can be recycled again. A crease in the
chair’s back is inspired by a folded piece of paper on the designer’s studio
table and provides extra support for the upper and lower back. Seven colour
options are inspired by Scandinavian nature and, along with multiple base
options, make N02 Recycle particularly applicable for work, meeting and dining
arrangements. The four-legged N02 Recycle chair is elegantly simple and functional,
as well as stackable and easy to arrange in rows. Gently curved, steel legs
recall the single-shell chair designs of Arne Jacobsen and Vico Magistretti.

Oki Sato |
Oki Sato - founder of nendo design studio - expresses
his design philosophy not only with the N01™ chair but through graphics, art
installations and architecture. He was born in Toronto, Canada and later moved
to Tokyo, where he took a M.A. in Architecture at Waseda University. In 2002,
he founded the nendo studio and today nendo have their name on both
architectural projects as well as grand furniture designs worldwide. nendo's
philosophy states that, in the same way that life is full of little "!"
moments - or moments of surprise and richness - so are their designs.
"Nendo" means 'modelling clay' in Japanese - a term perfectly suited
to the studio’s sculptural approach to design no matter the material. For their
work, nendo has been awarded with Dezeen, Wallpaper and Red Rot Design Awards
among many more throughout the studio's lifetime. |
