Story
Recycled plastic as the surface
Normann Copenhagen describes the Bit Lounge Chair as an innovative material composition: recycled plastic waste from households and industry, in small pieces, that gives the chair a pixelated expression and a durable surface. Pattern and colour vary from chair to chair, which the manufacturer treats as part of the design.
Introduced in 2024
The chair was launched in April 2024 together with the Bit side table, coffee table and barstool, alongside the existing Bit stool. The press release calls it a contemporary rendition of the classic lounge chair for indoor and outdoor use.
