The Profim Snap is a versatile chair designed to seamlessly blend work and relaxation. Addressing the growing trend of “office domestication,” it caters to the demand for homely comforts in professional spaces. Designed for the contract market, the Snap Lounge chair features a robust structure that can be reupholstered or customized to suit various contexts and workspaces. Its design also prioritizes ease of assembly and disassembly, ensuring that each part can be separated and recycled efficiently.
The seating experience offered by the Profim Snap Lounge chair provides a slightly more upright posture, promoting clarity and focus suitable for formal work environments. At the same time, it remains soft and comfortable enough to support relaxed, informal interactions. To emphasize this duality, the chair comes with multiple upholstery options: one with a voluminous, fluffy appearance, and another with a more tailored, soft aesthetic, allowing it to adapt to diverse work settings.
From a sustainability perspective, the Profim Snap is thoughtfully designed with smart construction and assembly. Its open and adaptable design philosophy considers every step of the product cycle, from assembly to disassembly, and recycling. The upholstery is removable and supported by a glue-free construction. Textiles are fitted over a polypropylene backrest (with 75% recycled content) and a polyamide seat (with 70% recycled content), encased with 100% recycled polyester fibers. The entire assembly is secured with a spindle, eliminating the need for staples or glue.
To enhance accessibility and user-friendliness, the seat and backrest effortlessly snap into place atop a sturdy steel frame. Removing the backrest is simple: a flat tool, such as a screwdriver or even a butter knife, can slide between the seam of the seat and backrest to release the tabs holding the components together. This design allows individual parts to be easily removed and recycled.
The resulting Profim Snap is a lounge chair thoughtfully designed for work contexts, offering a slightly upright lounge experience that keeps users alert and engaged. With adaptable color and upholstery options, it accommodates a range of customer preferences. Its robust, smart construction supports ease of assembly and disassembly for recycling, balancing practicality with sustainability.
