L’élégante simplicité de la chaise Flux (Flux® Chair) s’articule autour de la résine polypropylène SABIC durable, de haute performance
Sittard, Pays Bas – 19 juillet 2011 – La chaise Flux (Flux® Chair) pliante et portable a conquis le monde du design, qui l’a récompensée de nombreux prix. Sa réussite s’appuie sur l’admirable simplicité d’une conception en une seule pièce et un seul matériau, rendue possible grâce au polypropylène (PP) de SABIC. Flux Furniture B.V. a choisi la série SABIC® PP PHC de copolymères séquencés hautement résistants pour mouler cette pièce complexe, dotée de charnières. Inspirée par l'origami, elle se présente sous l’aspect d'un paquet plat qui se déplie pour former une chaise à la fois emblématique et extrêmement pratique. Ne se contentant pas de satisfaire aux exigences de la chaise Flux en matière de facilité d’utilisation et d’esthétique, ce matériau haute performance contribue également à atteindre ses objectifs environnementaux grâce à sa recyclabilité et à son faible poids.
