In this article, we discover the unique characteristics of the Peel chair, representative of today's industrial design, and explore ways to include it in our homes.
The Peel chair
The Californian studio Prowl has jumped onto the international scene thanks to Peel, a dining chair made with hemp-based bioplastic. A sustainable design that leads the way to combat fast furniture.
The material developed by M4 Factory It is what adds the most value to this chair. A material that combines biopolymers with hemp fiber and HURD, byproducts of the industrial processing of this plant that are often wasted.
With a fairly austere design, this chair is nevertheless completed with a also innovative cushion of hemp foam and encapsulated in hemp bioleather. An element developed in collaboration with the New York studio Veratate that gives this chair greater comfort and allows you to do without external accessories to achieve this goal.

When it comes to combining the Peel chair, the possibilities are endless thanks to the austerity of its design and its neutral color. However, what will stand out the most if we want to make these chairs the protagonists of the space will be by choosing furniture in contrasting colors. Below we present some ideas for each space.
contemporary dining room
The Peel dining chair would be an excellent alternative to decorate a contemporary dining room. Combined with some dark wood furniture The chairs will stand out and create a tremendously warm and organic atmosphere. We imagine them completing an oval wooden table on one side and facing a wall bench upholstered in the same tones.
Black is another option to make these chairs stand out. Black or cracker pepper, one of the colors that will have the most prominence in 2024. We love the idea of betting on a black round table to contrast the coldness of black and surround it with these chairs.
Although if what you want is to give light to your dining room, a table in stone tones may be the best option. The Peel chair really allows you to experiment and play with different styles and decorative elements to achieve a unique aesthetic in any space, so why not take advantage of it?
Minimalist work area
Do you want to create a small home work area where you can sit and answer emails, fill out paperwork or write a few lines? We love the simplicity of the spaces in the images and only two elements are necessary to recreate them: a narrow wall-to-wall board and a nice chair.
If you choose a wooden surface, the warmth of the space will grow exponentially, however, if you opt for a colder material, the Peel chair will help create a perfect balance. A designer flexo and some organizers for your work material, you won't need anything else.
Side chair in the bedroom
Another place where we have imagined this chair is in the bedroom. If you have a small bedroom, this chair will fit perfectly in it thanks to its lightness. Place it next to a window and drop one warm blanket on top in a vibrant color like orange or raspberry red or in more relaxing ones like terracotta.
Do you want to give this chair greater prominence in your bedroom? Queue a standing mirror in front of it or slightly hidden behind so that the chair is reflected from different places and thus has a main role in the room.

A path to explore in which innovative materials such as hemp-based bioplastic with a much kinder final life for the planet will replace others. Can you imagine this type of chair in your homes?
