SIT AND RELAX
A Furniture Design Concept with RECOSYS® rPET
SIT AND RELAX is a minimalist furniture concept showcasing RECOSYS® rPET, a high-quality post-industrial recycled PET. The seat/back shells, made with approximately one-third rPET, cut virgin plastic use and highlight the potential for recycled materials in high-demand design applications. Produced via KURZ's proprietary RECOSYS® 2.0 process, the material is designed to be fully recyclable, supporting circular material flows.
