The Chloroplast chair is an interior piece, the idea of which is to playfully recreate one of the most important plant cells. Chloroplast performs the function of synthesizing glucose from carbon dioxide and water using solar energy. This is a fantastic process of plant life, on which all of humanity depends. Ultimately, we live in an incredible symbiosis with the entire environment, especially with plants. Many inhabitants of the planet Paradise, where Chloroplast comes from, use it as an energy source, planting it in their yard and connecting wires to it. This plant is engaged in active photosynthesis, producing a huge amount of energy and is the solar battery of the planet.

One of the main materials of the chair is felt, made by hand from high—quality Italian wool.
