carbon fibre chairs by laisr


‘ch.air’

laisr is a design studio based in basel, switzerland. they specialize in producing furniture using a very
non-traditional material, carbon fibre. this super strong and ultra light material is many used for engineering
purposes, but laisr has applied it to three chairs in their product line. the reason they use the material is
because of its super strength. while most don’t like to think of carbon fibre as a green material,
laisr believes that because its durability makes it last so long, the required energy to manufacture it is
justified. they also took the design of the chairs into consideration, creating sleek and, what they believe,
to be timeless forms.

carbon, spectra, kevlr, cuben, titanium, platinium, nomex, honeycomb etc etc etc
so what? ok, it's nice thing made of expensive carbon. you can't speak about "green" product because all proceses are poisonous and consumes a lot of energy. what is an idea?
carbon in latest boeings and airbuses allows to save up to 30% fuel. in sport goods carbon makes them withstand loads more efectively and asist human body better.
what is an idea? to be pioneers in chair technology? can't cach the idea.
