Discarded textiles as the basis for timeless design
Unusual Black demonstrates that textile waste doesn’t have to be the end of the line. Fibers from sources such as old clothing are transformed into a new seat with a distinctive dark look. Combined with the wooden base, the result is a high-quality chair for offices, conference rooms, restaurants, and other professional interiors.
The seat shell of Unusual Black is made from recovered textile fibers. Triboo cites waste streams from items such as jeans, military clothing, lab coats, and tailored suits. These fibers are combined with a bio-based binder and molded under pressure into a strong, three-dimensional seat. The pressing process creates a compact material with a matte, natural appearance. The original fibers remain partially visible, ensuring that the circular story is not hidden but, rather, becomes an integral part of the design.
The dark color of Unusual Black results from the chosen combination of recycled textile fibers. The collection includes, among other things, the so-called “Suits” variant, in which discarded suits are transformed into a stylish black-gray material. Because the composition of the collected textiles can vary from one production batch to another, slight variations in color and fiber structure may occur. As a result, no two chairs are completely identical. It is precisely these natural differences that give each Unusual Black chair its own character and identity.
The Unusual Chair is inspired by Scandinavian design. Its clean lines, refined wooden details, and meticulously crafted joints give the chair a timeless look. The wooden frame also provides extra back support and creates a warm contrast with the dark seat shell. Thanks to this combination, the Unusual Black fits seamlessly into a wide variety of settings. The chair can be used at a conference table, in a restaurant or cafeteria, in an educational setting, or as a standalone chair in a reception or meeting area.
