Moooi Carbon

The Carbon Collection is made from carbon fibre, which allows for lightweight structures to be incredibly durable. Created in a factory in Asia, design duo Bertjan Pot and Marcel Wanders were able to combine the craft of local people with the high-tech of carbon production. The seat is woven using classic techniques, using wires dipped in epoxy resin. The leg structure is also woven before the two pieces are fixed together, allowing for ease of stacking for more economical shipping.

The Carbon Collection includes the Carbon Chair and the Carbon Bar Stool. The chair was created first, but designers found that people wanted to use the chair for a wide variety of projects, leading them to add the bar stool to the collection. This created additional challenges due to the different heights as well as the different ways that people sit on a bar stool.

The Carbon Collection is well-suited to contemporary settings, both domestic and commercial. Within the home, it is an ideal seating option for a breakfast bar, kitchen island, or outdoor bar area. In commercial settings, the Carbon Collection is a durable and versatile option for restaurant and bar areas.
