There are chairs that look very pretty and artsy but are probably not the most comfortable place to sit on. I’m the kind of person that would care more about a chair’s functionality rather than its design, as long as it’s comfortable and would let me sit on it for a long time. But there are those that also can be both and this new one from furniture brand Heller seems like it is.

The Limbo Chair is something that you can use either indoor or outdoor. Its “swooping, sculptural form” makes it look like an art piece you can find at a museum but since it’s a chair foremost, it was also designed to “balance flexibility and support, playfulness and durability.” They say it’s comfortable enough to be able to use it while you’re resting, reading a book, or just sitting without agenda.
The other special thing about this chair is that it is 100% recyclable. It uses a high percentage of recycled plastic polyethylene blend. What percentage of the material this is depends on the color, with black being the highest. It is available in warm and neutral colors like black, bone, sand, terra cotta, wheat, and cantaloupe, to blend in whatever environment you place it in.
The chair seems to be low enough for you to relax in, although I don’t know if I can last in it even though I’m not the tallest person. It will look good though if you add it to your space especially if one of the available colors matches your aesthetics.
