Make a positive impact on our plant's waters and your dining arrangements with this clever use of discarded fishnets and plastics. The Nova Sea Side Chair, Upholstered Seat from Mater shows you can make a statement while looking doing it. Design studio ARDE is all about making statements; they approached the piece intending to combine a sensational design with a sustainable idea. ARDE is calculated in each of their creations as they make sure that they respect life above land and below water. They satisfy this noble ethos by using a cutting-edge recycled plastic that's developed from processed fishing nets and plastics that would otherwise be grazing our waters. This plastic is molded into a handsome shell with subtle curves to hug the body. Deep with comfort yet low key, the seat adds an upholstered polyester cushion that's made using 98% post-consumer material. A light yet sturdy frame wraps the piece up, adding stacking capabilities for easy storage.
