The Ruffini Chair combines 3D printing with recycled plastic artistry in a beautifully sinuous form that feels both sculptural and functional. Crafted by Mungenast · Morroni, this piece is built from recycled plastic bottles and shaped using double curved surfaces to achieve strength and grace while minimizing material use.
Despite its slender 8 mm wall, the chair offers robust stability and load-bearing capacity. Designers Moritz Basil Mungenast and Luc Morroni enhanced its practicality by adding a three-legged base for balance on uneven terrain and a dual-mode configuration that allows it to flip easily between a reclined lounge mode and an upright seat. Each Ruffini Chair can be customized with personalized surface patterns, and on-demand local production supports sustainability by cutting down transportation emissions. This chair redefines seating by embracing elegance, adaptability, and eco-conscious design.
