The Fritz Hansen N02-31 Recycle Office Chair brings a distinctive design perspective to the modern workspace.
Created by Japanese design studio Nendo, it combines a sculptural seat made from upcycled household plastic with a polished aluminium swivel base, creating a considered balance of material innovation and contemporary style.
With its clean profile and reflective metal base, the N02-31 is an elegant option for home offices, creative studios and professional work environments. Its restrained appearance allows it to sit comfortably alongside modern desks and storage, while the choice of shell colours provides scope to personalise the workspace. A defining detail is the subtle crease running down the backrest, inspired by a folded sheet of paper on Nendo's studio table. This simple line gives the chair its distinctive character and helps support the upper and lower back. The curved shell creates a gently embracing shape without the bulk of a traditional upholstered office chair. The seat is manufactured from household plastic waste collected and processed in central Europe. By giving this material a new purpose, the N02 Recycle offers an alternative to chairs made from virgin plastic. The shell can be recycled again at the end of its useful life, and the collection has earned the EU Ecolabel.
The polished aluminium five-star base provides a stable foundation, while the swivel mechanism and twin-wheel castors make it easy to reposition the chair around a desk. The adjustable seat height helps accommodate different users and working arrangements, making it suitable for everyday office tasks and flexible workspaces. The N02-31 combines practical office functionality with a more design-led aesthetic. Its sculptural shell and metallic base create a subtle contrast that works particularly well in contemporary interiors, whether used as a dedicated desk chair or as part of a coordinated office furniture scheme.
Materials: The N02™ Recycle shell is made from recycled house hold waste. Swivel base is polished aluminium (95% recycled). Castors with black plastic housing. The N02™ Recycle chair has earned the prestigious EU-Ecolabel.
Dimensions: Width: 62.5cm x Depth 62.5cm x Height: 77-90cm (Seat Height: 42-55cm)
Founded in 2002 - Nendo is a Japanese design studio headed by Oki Sato. Their diverse range of designs include furniture, lighting, industrial and interiors. Sato was born in Toronto, Canada and later moved to Tokyo, where he took a M.A. in Architecture at Waseda University. "Nendo" means 'modelling clay' in Japanese - a term perfectly suited to the studio’s sculptural approach to design no matter the material.
