Lensvelt Richard Hutten This Bucket Chair With Steel Base Vermilion Red (RAL2002) Vermilion Red (RAL2002) Hard Leg Ends

Bucket Chair  – Polypropylene

Lensvelt asked Richard Hutten to design the most sustainable and comfortable bucket chair out there. The expectations were for Richard to design an aluminum mechanism that automatically adjusts to one’s body weight - a complex product. Nevertheless, Richard came up with a much more intelligent solution: an assembly by only using a fairing and a frame connected with four screws. The chair is made of the same plastic that car bumpers are made of. This allows for the Bucket Chair to remain infinitely flexible. Richard positioned the mounting points on the frame in such a way that the shell moves with your body.

Additionally, the chair is also easy to disassemble. If the tub or frame should ever break, it is easy to replace.

The seat is made of plastic (polypropylene), available in various colors and different frame colors and frame types.
