Lud'o Lounge

Overview

The Lud'o Lounge armchair (2020) by Patricia Urquiola has a recyclable plastic shell and a quilted padded upholstery that can be removed and replaced with a completely new one. It sits on a swivelling conical metal base or on four ash spokes.

Construction

The shell is recyclable linear polyethylene, padded with polyurethane foam and polyester fibre, with a removable fabric or leather cover and tone-on-tone stitching. The conical base is black powder-coated metal sheet; the other base has four solid ash spokes.

Specifications

LU_2: 85 x 87 x 97 cm (product sheet drawing).

Dressed and re-adorned

Cappellini presents Lud'o Lounge as an armchair whose padded upholstery can be taken off the shell with a simple gesture and replaced by a completely new one, so the look can change with the season or the setting.

Recyclable by construction

The page says every element of the armchair, from the base to the padding, expresses a new way to give materials added value, and calls the chair completely recyclable. The shell is produced with a rotational mould.
