Its padded version comes upholstered in recyclable yarns such as Seaqual , or Ocean fabric which is created entirely from recycled plastic derived from the ocean.Making the switch to 100 per cent circularity might not be an easy task because the process of rethinking, reworking, and reducing materials has to be thorough and complete.

American furniture brand Emeco’s iconic chair is the 1006 Navy. The first chair from the brand was made for the US Navy as the name attests.
