A cure for chair butt?

Inspired by the playfulness of an orange peel, Varier Furniture is unleashing its Peel Club chair at NeoCon, June 15-17.
This chair is more than good looking—it’s a pleasurable experience for the body. Goodbye chair butt??! The organic shape allows users to vary their sitting position while lounging, reading, listening or plotting evil (my personal favorite).
The ergonomic chair has been wildly popular in the European contract market, selling more than 55,000 units in 10 months. To translate: If you don’t like this chair, then you’re not as sophisticated or cool as our chain-smoking, swatch car driving, and beret wearing brethren across the pond.
The Peel Club is made from 100 percent recycled materials and is available in eco-friendly wool and hundreds of color and fabric combinations.

Fairfield Chair makes green strides

Fairfield Chair has completed the Enhancing Furniture’s Environmental Culture program for environmental management at its two upholstery plants and its Lenoir, N.C., headquarters, according to the American Home Furnishings Alliance.
Fairfield President Dick Posey said the program took more than a year to complete and during that time the company reduced its landfill tonnage by 28 percent, water use went down by 14 percent and kilowatts of electricity used was reduced by 5 percent.
EFEC stresses employee education, using environmentally friendly components and sustainable lumber.
Fairfield’s lumber is from sustainable U.S. forests, and plywood meets CARB requirements.
