Ex-display Pair of Jää Armchairs - Sustainable Recycled Plastic Seating

One of the latest additions to the Jää series: the Jää Armchair offers a robust seating solution for spaces such as museums and galleries or real statement pieces for the residential sector. The Finnish word jää has two meanings; ‘ice’ and ‘please stay’ - a perfect word for sustainable pieces of design. Our inspiration for the Jää furniture came initially from the beautiful and practical nature of the recycled plastic and its environmentally friendly credentials. Through the design and use of materials, we wanted to show that recycled plastic furniture can be bold, desirable, and aesthetically pleasing. The Jää furniture is made out of 100% recycled post-consumer plastic - pure waste that has been diverted from landfills. The furniture is made in Britain with a mixture of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastic shapes with small custom-made polished aluminium spacers and nuts. Further, the Jää designs are also fully recyclable contributing to the circular economy. The Jää pieces are sculptural, multifunctional, and adaptable designs suitable for both indoors and outdoors in public and private spaces. Handmade to order in the UK. Measures: 73 cm wide x 70 cm high x 80 cm deep. Each piece can be made to any width, please contact us for any bespoke requirements. Also shown in the images Jää Cube and Grey Screen.

Jää - a Finnish word for both ice and ‘please stay’. The inspiration for this bench / seating came from the beautiful and practical nature of recycled plastic and its environmentally friendly credentials. The white color of this material made us think about melting slushy snow and ice. The black made us think of the ground, and how dark it looks once the snow melts and exposes the soil after a long winter. Made with a mixture of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastic with small aluminium spacers and nuts, the Jää bench is fully recyclable. The PE and PP plastic shapes are 100% recycled post-consumer plastic i.e. pure waste that has been diverted from landfills.

This set of chairs was originally designed by the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, Dom Hans van der Laan for the Abbey Church of St. Benedictusberg located near the Dutch town of Vaals. These easy chairs are in an untouched condition. They are made of pine wood and feature copper nails, giving these pieces an understated, rustic look. The pair is entirely painted grey, including the nails. This specific colour was carefully selected by Whim van Hoof to resemble the original shade as closely as possible. The main focus of van der Laan’s design was functionality and rationality, which is reflected in the openings on the sides and on the backs serve the purpose of joining multiple pieces together, and lifting them. Van der Laan was a leading figure in the traditionalist movement, the Bossche School, that held these values as well. These characteristics make these chairs charming, while also being beautiful pieces of Dutch design history.

The St. Benedictusberg Abbey in Vaals and its interior quickly became his masterpiece at the age of 53.
