Dezeen Showroom: De Vorm has released the Hale PET Felt lounge chair made from recycled plastic bottles pressed into a soft material with the slenderness of a wood seat.

The Hale PET Felt lounge chair features a seat and backrest made of PET felt. Both recycled and recyclable, the material provides a contemporary and tactile alternative to timber.

With its gently curved economic shape and soft texture, the lounge chair makes a cosy addition to living rooms, hallways and lobbies.

"The extensive flexibility of this material allowed us to experiment with the curves in order to find an optimal ergonomic spine, essential for lounge chairs," said the De Vorm design team.

"As a result, Hale is fitted to embrace the users granting them long-lasting seating comfort."

The Hale PET Felt lounge chair can be customised with a choice of 11 PET felt blends, custom RAL colours for the powder-coated steel frame, and the option of upholstery in a range of hues.

The chair's few components are easily disassembled, so it can be recycled at the end of a long life.
