RE-PETE
DESIGNED BY SAM TOMKINS, IAIN [MAX] MAXWELL AND BEN ENNIS-BUTLER

Selected from more than 40 design submissions, the winning design by the Canberra collective, Re-pete, is a lightweight, zero-waste stool produced from recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) plastic using robotic 3D printing technology.

Drawing inspiration from the billowing and cellular forms of all(zone)’s MPavilion 2022 design, the chair’s complex doubly-curved shape enhances its stability offering a combination of support, flex and suspension in all the right places.

For the first time, we have partnered with Craft Victoria and are delighted to showcase Re-pete amongst other world-class chair designs as part of their upcoming exhibition The Chair, from Saturday 10 September.
