New Xume Chair

 

According to United Nations statistics, only about 9% of all the plastic produced since the 1950s has been recycled up to the present day. There is no doubt that our consumption patterns accumulate a large amount of waste, including plastic waste, which has become a problem that we must manage in order to reintroduce it into the market and avoid its incineration. PET felt is a new generation material that was initially developed in the automobile sector and, today Alki is using it to counter this problem. That’s why at Alki, we have chosen to include it as a new material for the Xume collection. PET felt is a new generation material that was initially developed in the automobile sector and, today Alki is using it to counter this problem.

With the Xume Collection, Alki has brought a new slant on the time-honoured wooden chair with the introduction of a new recycled and recyclable material, PET. Xume, evocative of pure, pared-down elegance in Basque, illustrates the intention of Iratzoki & Lizaso Studio to offer a simple, light and ergonomic chair that can blend into a multitude of settings.
