Dezeen Showroom: Japanese office furniture brand Okamura is launching a chair made using recycled fishing nets salvaged from the ocean.

Launching at Chicago design fair NeoCon 2023 in June, the Sphere chair features a “3D physical fit shell” with a kinematic structure that adapts to the contours of the user’s body, enabling long sitting periods without discomfort or fatigue.

The chair’s upholstery is made from Okamura’s Re:net material, which is made using recycled fishing nets taken from the Japanese ocean. The chair itself also has a high level of recyclability, according to Okamura.

To maximise comfort, the chair’s seat depth, reclining tension and armrests are intended to be easily adjusted.

An ankle-tilt reclining function also helps to ensure that the user’s posture is kept in a natural position whether upright or reclined.

“Regardless of their body size or shape, Sphere is dedicated to providing unrivalled comfort and support to its user.”

Sphere is also available with a fixed armrest with an angled surface to facilitate using a smartphone or tablet.
