Eastman Spectar® sheet provides affordable, yet high-end furniture design

To produce his Giro (“giro” is Portuguese for movement) chair, Diederichsen took sheets of Spectar® copolyester, cutting and forming it into an anatomically-pleasing shape. He then attached the resulting plastic shell to a metal base with four screws. When Brazilian designer Lars Diederichsen needed a material for the new chair he was designing, he looked for something beautiful, easy to work with, and reasonably priced. He chose Spectar® copolyester from Eastman Chemical Company, and the result was his creative “Giro” chair.
