The Vale seating collection, designed for KFI Studios by British design firm Layer, seamlessly combines sustainability with refined style.
This comprehensive collection includes a side chair, armchair, lounge chair with ottoman, low back counter stool, low back barstool, and high back barstool.
With the design intent of creating a seating collection showcasing sustainable materials, Vale features a distinct shell crafted from pressed PET felt, a material derived from recycled plastic waste.
The recycled plastic material is durable enough to withstand daily use while having the tactile quality of felt.
The fluidity of the gently curved shell provides a calming and sophisticated feel while the rolled edge adds a unique design element and strength to the recycled felt.
The visual softness of the rolled edge combined with the thin steel legs conveys a feeling of lightness, creating spaces that are inherently welcoming and inviting.
The recycled PET felt comes in six colours — Charcoal, Grey, Stone, Midnight, Sage and Garnet — while the steel frame is available in seven shades — White, Black, Silver, Quartz Grey, Sapphire Blue, Pale Green and Oxide Red.
With this array of colours, you can mix and match for a custom look or coordinate for a monochromatic aesthetic.
For additional comfort and further customization, Vale has the option of adding an upholstered seat pad, available in a large selection of graded-in textiles or COM.
Recognized for its thoughtful design and smart use of sustainable materials, Vale has earned several awards including Best of NeoCon, MetropolisLikes, and Good Design.
