The main body of Allez is molded polypropylene (PP),
a highly durable thermoplastic material which in its
purest form can be recycled several times without losing
its properties. The design is made through an injection
molding process whereby gas is pumped into the mold,
shaping the polypropylene. This technique enables the
production of more complex items with greater tolerances
in material thickness, while using only the exact material
needed to make the chair, thus minimizing the amount of
material used while increasing the strength of the product.
With a minimal amount of material in the design, Allez
weighs just 3.6 kg, making it easy to move around.
Despite the light weight, the Allez chair meets European
standards Level 2 (EN 16139:2013 and EN 1022:2005) and
ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 – 2017, which classify the design for
heavy use in areas with a high user intensity, such as airport
terminals, teaching institutions and night clubs.
Allez comes in separate components and is delivered flat-
packed. Using this type of space-efficient packaging reduces
CO2 emissions during shipment and also makes it easy for
the customer to bring home the chair. The assembly process
has been carefully thought into the construction and makes
it easy for the owner to put the components together.
