A.I. The first chair made of 100% recycled material

Kartell takes another step forward in its ongoing commitment towards environmental sustainability, continuing along the path taken with the industrial manifesto Kartell loves the planet. A.I. is the new chair in which the company uses recycled material for the first time, adopting a virtuous process that helps clean up the environment by reusing industrial scrap, turning it back into raw material and thereby activating a system of circular economy.

A.I. is made with a 100% recycled thermoplastic technopolymer obtained from pure scrap material that has been set aside and is not contaminated by other materials. The choice is dictated by the possibility, made available only now by technology, to use scrap material that guarantees the aesthetic quality and structural requirements of the product, reducing the emissions necessary for its production.

Thanks to the collaboration between Kartell, Philippe Starck and Autodesk, a leading American company in the production of 3D engineering and entertainment software, a next-generation chair made of 100% recycled material has been created, designed by combining human and artificial intelligence. Technological research and development, today just like seventy years ago, enable Kartell to continue identifying new design solutions, using materials that can be regenerated and which have no negative impact on the environment.
