The future is here Who says sustainable can’t be beautiful? Reform Design Lab’s Reform Lounge Chair is a snapshot of the modern world. It has been created using 3D printing and is made from cellulose reinforced biocomposite supplied by UPM Formi. Not only is it innovative, but the entire product is incredibly sustainable. Using the material can reduce a product’s carbon footprint by as much as 80% compared to similar fossil-based counterparts. By utilising 3D printing, the carbon footprint is further reduced due to a complete absence of waste and minimal transportation costs. This is the future of sustainable furniture manufacturing and it’s ready now.
