REX

Circuform gives industrially designed furniture a circular life and has re-released Ineke Hans’s design from 2011. The result is REX: a sustainable and completely recyclable chair that can be returned for a guaranteed deposit of twenty euros. This further development of the very first Dutch deposit chair encourages a different way of consuming; not throwing away after (re)use, but returning it. The returned chairs are checked, cleaned, repaired and sold again. Broken chairs are shredded into raw material for new production. REX has already been acquired by various museums, including the Vitra Design Museum, Museum Boijmans Rotterdam and the Design Museum Gent.
