Bolete chair and armchair by Patricia Urquiola for Andreu World
Dezeen Showroom: Andreu World and Patricia Urquiola have evolved their Bolete chairs to incorporate the brand's BIO thermopolymer, a material produced from living microorganisms that is said to be biodegradable.
The Bolete chair and armchair update follows in the footsteps of the Bolete Lounge Bio in incorporating the innovative material, which is made by fermenting bacteria and aimed at creating a more circular product.
Andreu World asserts the material is fully biodegradable and compostable, and it is certified under TÜV Austria's OK bio-based scheme as containing a very high proportion of renewable materials.
For the Bolete chair and armchair, the thermopolymer is used for the furniture's base — a striking feature that is grooved and moulded into a curvaceous plinth-like foundation.
Lightweight but stable, this base flows into a padded and upholstered seat and backrest, which conform to the shape of the body for a comfortable and ergonomic sitting experience.
Suitable for both private and public spaces, the Bolete chair and armchair blends pop aesthetics with contemporary minimalism and comes in a palette of 10 colours.
