We are always praising the versatility and vast uses of Hemp. It is without a doubt the most eco-friendly material on the planet, and here is yet more proof of this. Wener Aisslinger presents this, the first natural fiber Monochair designed with a total new technology: Natural hemp fibers are moulded under heat with a special ecological glue into a new natural and sustainable composite material.
Aisslinger, a Berlin-based architect and designer, appears to have pioneered this new technique using natural fibers. The hemp fibers are moulded under heat with a special ecological glue resulting in a very sustainable composite material. A brave but considerate move given that a complete structure done in a thin layer of material is one of the most complicated ways to design and engineer a chair. Aisslinger’s stylish design which features soft curves, along with a horizontal and vertical ring structure, is a new approach to this complex seating typology. Werner Aisslinger is working in partnership with BASF acrodur on the production of the chair.
