Hlynur Atlason designs the Limbo Chair for furniture imprint Heller. The silhouette is something that can function indoors and outdoors with its sculptural form and swooping shape. This gives the model an artful angle but it boasts a chair function first and foremost. It is also made to "balance flexibility and support, playfulness, and durability." The team ensures that the chair is comfortable for resting, lounging, or just sitting without an agenda.
The other chair is entirely recyclable as it is made with a high percentage of recycled plastic polyethylene blend. The material percentage varies based on the color as black is the highest and it also comes in warm and neutral options including "black, bone, sand, terra cotta, wheat, and cantaloupe."
