EPD: Backrested shell chair, 10.2 kg/unit, Mikado (Vitra)
Mikado is a chair with a serene yet commanding aura that aims to impress not by its form but through its comfort. It achieves this thanks to upholstery on all sides and an ingeniously simple mechanism concealed beneath the seat that facilitates subtle movement of the backrest. Mikado was designed with sustainability in mind from the outset: the covers are not glued and can be removed for cleaning or replacement. The legs may be replaced individually or exchanged for a different material option – wood or recycled aluminium. The inner seat panel is made of recycled aluminium while the core of the backrest shell is produced from recycled post-consumer polypropylene, which can be easily separated from the foam padding during recycling. The concept of a simple exchange of components gives Mikado longterm versatility, thereby ensuring longevity. Mikado is available as an armchair with suggested armrests or as a side chair. The two backrests, different legs, a choice of fabric or leather covers and numerous colours enable a wide variety of possible combinations.
