This Biodegradable Chair Is Made Entirely of Hemp

The PEEL Chair, a collaborative creation by PROWL Studio and M4 Factory, introduces a sustainable alternative to the conventional plastic stacking chair. Made from hemp, this innovative seating solution combines style with eco-friendliness.

Known for its strength and durability, hemp has long been recognized as a sustainable material. It requires minimal water and pesticides during cultivation, making it a greener alternative to other crops. Furthermore, the growth process of hemp plants actively absorbs carbon dioxide, contributing to carbon sequestration and helping combat climate change.

Harnessing the strength and durability of hemp, the PEEL Chair offers a sturdy frame that ensures longevity in various environments, from homes to offices. Its minimalist design adds a touch of modern elegance to any space.

"At M4, we approach how things are made considering people and the environment from the onset," says M4 Factory chief design officer Kyle Swen. "Many of our plastics contain upcycled agricultural waste. We can use one less pound of plastic for every pound of agricultural waste we upcycle. Products designed with less plastic are more sustainable, and these bioplastics are often stronger and lighter than their petroleum-based counterparts."

Embracing the principles of circular economy, the PEEL Chair is fully biodegradable, minimizing waste and leaving a smaller environmental footprint. By utilizing hemp as a renewable resource, PROWL Studio and M4 Factory showcase the potential of responsible manufacturing.
