Made from plant-polymers and recycled waste, Lightly is a lightweight, stackable, durable chair designed to do it all, with less. Lightly is designed for Noho by award-winning studio Formway. Weighing just 2.75kg, Lightly is made possible through a revolutionary plant-based polymer—a material used in demanding conditions by the automotive industry. This strong, stable material makes our ambitiously fine and complex frame possible, allowing design freedom to create a distinctive, light chair that exceeds commercial durability and safety standards.
Formway’s ergonomic expertise means Lightly is as comfortable as it is versatile, suiting compact urban homes through to commercial spaces. Lightly is the first furniture product globally to use EcoPAXX® in it’s production. Lightly’s frame is made using EcoPaXX®, an advanced engineering polymer derived primarily from oil harvested from the Castor Bean plant. This plant is hardy—grown with minimal irrigation in low-quality soil that isn’t suitable for food production. As the plant grows, it sequesters carbon from the atmosphere, further reducing impact. Lightly’s seat is also made using post-consumer recycled waste, putting a resource destined for landfill to good use.
