The Shrinx Easy Chair by Boris Berlin in collaboration with PlusHalle has one of the core objectives of this project was to explore the minimum materials necessary to create a comfortable lounge chair, without compromising on design or comfort. The SHRINX chair achieves this by employing patented textiles with self-supporting properties, replacing the need for foam. This material not only provides the structure needed for comfort but also retains a sleek and sharp upholstery, preserving the aesthetic of a classic lounge chair. The semi-translucent textile reveals the chair’s foamless construction, emphasizing a shift toward sustainable and innovative furniture production. This design choice aligns with an overarching commitment to explore alternatives that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high standards of comfort and functionality.
