The Second-Life Chair

The Second Life chair has been given another chance to be useful through a process of recycling materials such as bio plastic, PET, and waste resources.
Sustainable design is practiced by making it easier and more economical to recycle end-of-life products and mateirals and increasig their life expectancy by incorporating decomposition, recycling, and biodegradable design.
The Broom Chair designed by world-renowned designer Philippe Starck. As the name suggests, it is made from discarded agricultural by-products and bioplastics collected by brooms. It is a very comfortable chair made of eco-friendly materials and ergonomically designed.
Originally made for the Navy, the Navy Chair was made to resist rusting even in salty iron. In collaboration with Coca-Cola, it was made by recycling 111 Coca-Cola PET bottles.
It was reinterpreted and reborn as an eco-friendly product that uses recycled plastic materials and can express various colors. Dirk van der Kooij first fell in love with low-resolution 3D printing as a student, fulfilling his search for honest and functional ornamentation. The Chubby chair remains his most playful child of this process, which finds its alien form through the limitations of a selfdeveloped, plastic extruding robot. Each Chubby is printed from 10kg of chipped, recycled fridge interiors.
Or, more poetically, one standard fridge.
It is common to throw away damaged and unusable furniture.
Designers at Studio 5.5 contribute to the prevetion of resource waste and environmental pollution by restoring furniture and increasing its life expectancy by making and installing parts that fit the damaged areas of discarded furniture.
