A thermo-polymer of natural origin, with a biological base, completes the trilogy of new materials that Andreu World incorporates to continue leading the sector in sustainability.
This thermo-polymer does not come from fossil fuels, but is produced by living microorganisms, and offers a sustainability profile similar to that of wood. It is recyclable, biodegradable and compostable.
The new bioplastic debuts in Andreu World catalog with a lounge chair for relaxation spaces that is part of the Nuez collection. The design maintains its enveloping character and features a high back that enhances the technological image of the shell, with the organic texture that characterizes it. It is a 100% Urquiola and 100% sustainable piece that is available in a range of four colors.
The interior is upholstered with the new fabric Circular ONE® manufactured with PET bottle plastics and textile waste. The foam is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. The design doesn’t use glues, is able to be reupholstered at any moment and its parts are removable for repairs or for extending the life of the piece. The central ash wood base gives it an extra naturalness and is 100% FSC® certified. With it, a new and comfortable path towards sustainability is opened within the parameters of the circular economy of materials. Nuez Lounge BIO® is probably one of the most sustainable upholstered furniture pieces ever designed.
