Recycled Shell, Oak Base, with Armrests

The HAL RE Wood Armchair pairs Jasper Morrison's recycled plastic shell with armrests and a solid oak base — the warmest, most residential configuration in the HAL RE family. The oak base is connected to the shell via a die-cast aluminium plate in dim grey, giving the chair a refined, considered finish that works equally well at a dining table or in a home office. Non-stackable.

The seat shell is moulded from dyed-through recycled polypropylene sourced from Germany's 'Yellow Bag' (Gelber Sack) household waste collection, generating 54% fewer climate-damaging emissions than conventional plastic. Due to the composition of the recycled material, the colours are interspersed with tiny specks of pigment — a characteristic of the material. The HAL RE seat shell can also be 100% recycled at the end of its life.
