New life - let’s work together with Elia

New Life, an Italian company that develops and manufactures high-end contract furniture, has been following a sustainable path for many years. 

 

Working together with Designer, Marco Zito, their latest project in the name of concreteness, is the Elia Collection. 

“Honest, declinable, natural, systemic, simple, soft, rooted.”

These are seven adjectives that Marco Zito has identified to represent the new Elia seating family. 

Composed of a dining chair, lounge chair and bar stool, the collection is based on a clear and profound sense of measure & naturalness. 

Curved Ash, expert joints and noble & ancient craftsmanship characterise each model. 

Utilising solid FSC® ash, partly from local forests, Certipur® certified padding and upholstery fabrics chosen from the most sustainable, recycled or natural of fibres.

 

These range from 100% recycled cotton to 100% post-consumer recycled polyester fabrics from used plastic bottles.

And finally, Quest, a fabric originating from the SEAQUAL® initiative, designed to combat marine plastic pollution and achieve a waste-free environment.

It is created entirely from recycled polymeric fibres, precisely 75% from SEAQUAL®, a yarn obtained from plastic waste collected from our seas, and 25% from bottles destined to landfills.  It is also coloured with non-metallic dyestuffs. 

One small drop in the mission to clean both our Earth and our Oceans. 

Their way of being more sustainable is part of a process that begins to increase tomorrow's quality of life.
