Marée chair: A journey from recycled plastic to designer furniture

Specializing in comprehensive furniture development, from concept to consumer

Your idea, our expertise

In collaboration with Montana Furniture, Scancastor embarked on the ambitious project with the Marée chair series. The vision was clear: to create a chair that not only stands out in design, but also promotes sustainability by using 100% recycled plastic.

Construct, discuss, refine

The journey began with careful design and engineering, with Scancastor's team working closely with the designer, Jens Martin Skibsted, and Montana Furniture to refine the concept. Inspired by the grooves left in the sand by the tides, the Marée chair design required a balance between aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Prototyping and testing

The prototypes were made with precision, focusing on the chair's distinctive carved back and the complexity of the upholstery. The iterative prototyping process allowed for fine-tuning comfort and design, ensuring that the final product met the high standards set by both Scancastor and Montana Furniture.

Quality control and end product

Injection molding in recycled plastic was not just a choice, but a statement of commitment to sustainability. Scancastor's expertise in working with recycled materials ensured that the Marée chairs were not only environmentally friendly, but also durable and of high quality.

Start mass production

Once the prototypes were perfected, the tooling finalized and the materials purchased, mass production began. Scancastor's injection molding factory became the birthplace of the Marée chairs, where each piece was made with care and precision.

Manage the entire supply chain

The final chairs were assembled with attention to detail and distributed from Scancastor's warehouse in Denmark, ensuring a seamless supply chain from concept to customer.

Sustainable innovation: Scancastor's recycled plastic material

The MARÉE chair is not only about smart design, but also about smart materials. We are proud to say that this chair contains Scancastor's recycled plastic material, making sustainability a comfortable reality. By choosing recycled plastic, we're not just making a chair, we're making a statement. Every seat is a step towards a greener planet, and with Scancastor you are part of the eco-friendly journey.

The Marée chair: A testament to design and sustainability

With its straight lines and functional design, the Marée chair is a testament to the collaboration between Scancastor and Montana Furniture. It represents a successful fusion of innovative design and environmental responsibility and is offered in a palette of eight selected colors from the Montana collection.
