Refresh Recycle Re-Use


A partnership between The Coca-Cola Company and Emeco has resulted in the Emeco 111 Navy chair, inspired by the original Emeco Navy Chair designed in 1944 for the US Navy. The new chair is made from approximately 111 plastic bottles. It is estimated that approximately 3 million 20-ounce plastic bottles will be recycled annually for production of the chairs.


 


 

  

  
October saw FurnitureLab launch the new Emeco 111 Navy chair to the Auckland market. A collaboration with Coca-Cola and 42 Below resulted in a fabulous launch event. The 111 Navy chair is already proven to be a global success, and a furniture icon in the making. Call in to our showroom to check out the new 111 Navy chair as well as the full range of classic Emeco aluminium furniture.





 

Desking Systems


FurnitureLab has made the decision to concentrate on the Desking Systems range of commercial workstations. This means that we will no longer be representing the Haworth range of commercial furniture here in New Zealand.

Desking Systems has a range of fresh, innovative workstation systems which are perfect for the New Zealand office environment. Designed in Australia, the Desking Systems product range encompasses everything you need to create an efficient, affordable and aesthetic work environment including workstations, screens, pedestal storage units and cable storage units. Call in to our showroom to check out the Desking Systems display.



2degrees Nationwide Roll Out

FurnitureLab is currently involved in the roll out of the new 2degrees retails stores nationwide. The idea behind the new stores is to create an environment that Kiwi’s are comfortable with: the Kiwi backyard, complete with weatherboards, back fence and a raised deck area with comfy chairs where customers can sit down and complete the formalities.

Guy Richards of New.Improved. gave FurnitureLab the challenging task of finding an armchair to fit the design concept.  Our solution was to customise an armchair  from Thonet’s KMS range. These classic, comfy chairs feature solid Victorian Ash arms, stained to suit the clients’ needs. The compact footprint of this chair means that it can be used in a variety of settings, including commercial and residential environments.

And the best thing about this chair? It is 100% Kiwi made.
