The Swedish manufacturer Lammhults has produced the world' first chair made entirely of Cellupress - a combination of pressed waste wood and plant fibres.

Called the Imprint Shell Chair it is supremely environmentally friendly and visually stunning. No two chairs are identical as different plant fibres produce different patterns and colours, in shades from light to dark.

The designers, Johannes Foersom and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen, chose pine and cellulose as the base for the shell, and then added plant fibres such as ordinary bark, coconut or oak. The way it looks is a combination of nature and technique. By moulding the Cellupress wood fibre material under high pressure, Lammhults has been able to produce a distinct seat form and a unique look.

The chair is available with two frame options: steel or wood, and two different models: one geometric and one more rounded in shape.

Lammhults hopes the thin, light chairs will also be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic, which uses precious oil.
