The Manifesto: why choose an eco-friendly and design furniture
The times we live in require us to responsibly recover, reuse and restore the goods we already have, not least to secure the most valuable asset for our future generations: the health of our planet.
Stilfibra is a piece of furniture that pursues a sustainable design philosophy. The material Stilfibra® is made of (a mixture of plant waste and recycled PP plastic) not only reduces the production of plastic (and so CO2), but also provides excellent mechanical performances and durability, combined with the aesthetics of a timeless design.
Erbi, the firstborn of Stilfibra®
Erbi was born out of the realisation that the world of office chairs is largely made of plastic. We wondered whether it might not be not possible to embark on other, more environmentally responsible paths, for example by replacing some of that plastic with something else organic.
From there came the desire to break new ground and get to a “kalos kai agathos”, product , something beautiful and good at the same time, as our wise Greek ancestors used to say.
Waste becomes a resource, the scented chair in plant fibre is born
From the land where we are rooted, the province of Vicenza in the North-Eastern Italy, historically rich in intelligence and craftsmanship, came the answer we were waiting for: the shell of our recycled plastic chair.
Erbi is made from a mixture of vegetable waste and recycled plastic from the Italian supply chain.
The processing waste has limited or no applications and has to be disposed of at the end of the production cycle. Stilfibra wants to recover them and elevate them into biocompounds, in order to pursue an authentic circular economy project. Waste ceases to be waste and becomes a resource, a new product, useful and beautiful.
Additionally, in the production phase we made a very pleasant discovery: thanks to the material of which it is composed, Erbi is a scented chair, since the vegetable fibres retain the specific original aroma, giving a unique sensory experience.
