Eco Chair

Sexy design, sustainable materials and manufacturing — it doesn’t get much better than that, so we’re glad to find more from Voxia. The Eco chair is made from bent birch plywood sourced from sustainably-managed forests near the production plant, which is rotary cut into peeled veneer, so as to use the whole tree trunk.
