It's not every day that a piece of furniture disrupts our expectations and alters our perception of comfort and style. Today, we are proud to announce the Muuto Fiber Armchair, Swivel Base w. Return as LE MILE Magazine's Chair of the Year 2023.

 

Redefining the iconic shell chair, Muuto's Fiber Armchair stands at the intersection of innovation, design, and sustainability. It's an impressive blend of aesthetics and eco-friendliness that sets a new precedent for furniture design.

This chair uniquely combines plastic and wood fibers, creating a seamless composite that encapsulates the best of both materials. The non-upholstered variants are crafted from a blend of recycled plastic - a minimum of 80% - and FSC™ (FSC-C028824) certified wood fibers. The wood fibers are not merely additive; they blend into the surface to deliver a matte finish that adds an inviting, soft touch. It is a testament to Muuto's ingenuity and dedication to sustainability, evident in the EU Ecolabel Certification, guaranteeing reduced environmental impact from raw material to disposal.

The Fiber Armchair, however, is not just about sustainability; it's about comfort and aesthetic excellence. Its design incorporates friendly, embracing curves that offer extensive comfort while conserving space. The Fiber Armchair exhibits an unrivaled elegance and simplicity that will elevate any room it graces.

The Fiber Armchair is available in a variety of designs, colors, and combinations, ensuring a perfect fit for every décor. The chair's shell material in non-upholstered variants is a unique, climate-compensated plastic, made from a minimum of 80% recycled plastic and up to 25% FSC™️ certified wood fibers. For the upholstered variants, the shell is a tasteful plastic composition with up to 25% wood fibers. The base of the chair is a swivel base in powder coated or polished aluminum, lending durability and stability. Notably, the Fiber Armchair utilizes aluminum in its construction, a material known for its malleability, durability, and lightweight properties. This combination contributes to the robust yet airy feel of the design.

The innovative composite material made from recycled plastic and wood fibers has been specially developed for the Fiber Chair series. Up to 25% of this composite comprises wood fibers, creating a deep surface with a soft, matte touch. Although invisible to the naked eye from afar, the wood fibers' natural details are revealed upon close inspection. The inherent variations in the material's surface contribute to each chair's uniqueness, making every Fiber Armchair an individual masterpiece.

 
 

The Fiber Armchair Swivel Base w. Return by Muuto is not just a chair; it's a statement. A statement of style, comfort, and a sustainable future.

It encapsulates the highest ideals of contemporary design, marrying style with sustainability, aesthetics with comfort, and innovation with tradition. And it is these qualities that have led us, the editorial team of LE MILE Magazine, to select it as our Chair of the Year 2023.
