Introducing Turkey’s First 3D Printed Lounge Chair: The WOOD-LOOP Lounge Chair
In the bustling city of Istanbul, a revolutionary company is making waves in the world of furniture design. CIRCULA, a 3D printing company specializing in creating innovative furniture, has just unveiled their latest masterpiece – the WOOD-LOOP Lounge Chair. This remarkable chair is not only visually stunning but also crafted with a recyclable bio-composite material, making it a game-changer in terms of sustainability.
One of the standout features of the WOOD-LOOP Lounge Chair is its unique composition. Made from a blend of 51% wood fiber and 49% polymer, this chair embodies both elegance and environmental consciousness. The wood-grained layers add a timeless beauty, while the carefully designed structure adapts seamlessly to the body’s natural weight distribution. But what truly sets this chair apart is its hollow composition, which creates an aura of lightness, enhancing the overall experience for the user.
Türkiye Simge Goorany, architect and founder of Circula, describes the material used in the chair as “very beautiful and smart.” During the prototyping phase, the company was able to downsize the scraps and false parts left from the printing process and printed another chair. This approach exemplifies CIRCULA’s commitment to circularity and upcycling.
CIRCULA may be based in Istanbul, Turkey, but their mission reaches far beyond borders. They recognize the pressing issue of furniture waste and aim to address it through a continuous upcycling model. With nearly 90% of furniture waste ending up in landfills or incinerated, CIRCULA is determined to set a new standard for circularity in the furniture industry.
As concerns over the climate crisis continue to grow, CIRCULA’s eco-friendly initiative aligns perfectly with the demand for sustainable products. By championing the use of renewable materials and leveraging 3D printing technology, the company aims to redefine furniture manufacturing and consumption. They envision a future where furniture can be both aesthetically appealing and environmentally responsible.
The introduction of the WOOD-LOOP Lounge Chair is just the beginning for CIRCULA. With their innovative approach and dedication to sustainability, they are poised to revolutionize the way furniture is designed, manufactured, and consumed. The company’s name itself reflects their ethos – a commitment to creating a circular economy.
It is an exciting time for CIRCULA as they continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of furniture design. Their latest creation, the WOOD-LOOP Lounge Chair, is a testament to their vision for a more sustainable future. As they set out to extend the chair’s lifecycle and combat furniture waste, CIRCULA is leading the way in creating a transformative shift in the industry.
