Sustainability meets design: the Vitra Hal RE collection

At a time when the importance of sustainability is increasingly coming to the fore, Vitra is setting new standards. With the Hal RE collection, the renowned furniture manufacturer presents a series of home and office furniture made from recycled materials. But this collection is more than just a green statement; it is proof of Vitra’s relentless pursuit of tradition and innovation.

A new look at classics: the Hal RE collection

The Hal RE collection is not only another milestone in Vitra’s history, but also a tribute to design classics such as the Eames Plastic Chairs or the Panton Chair. By using recycled materials, Vitra shows that product longevity and environmental awareness can go hand in hand. This collection is another highlight among Vitra’s many new products.

The philosophy behind the Hal RE collection

The Hal RE collection is not just a product, but an expression of the philosophy that Vitra has represented for years. The Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein is a living example of this philosophy.

VITRA product family: VITRA HAL RE

HAL is Jasper Morrison’s interpretation of a shell chair in the tradition of the Plastic Chair by Charles and Ray Eames, which can be used in a variety of ways thanks to its different bases – from the dining table to the meeting room, from the bar to the auditorium. HAL RE is the further development with a seat shell made of recycled plastic. The basis for HAL RE’s recycled material is the German household recycling collection „Gelber Sack“, which mainly contains used packaging. Compared to the previous plastic, the use of this recycled material causes 54% fewer climate-damaging emissions and also consumes significantly less energy. The various colors have tiny speckles due to the composition of the recycled material. The color white cannot yet be implemented in the new material and will follow as soon as technically feasible. The HAL RE seat shell can also be 100% recycled at the end of its product life. In addition to the plastic shell (HAL and HAL RE), the chair’s many different bases can also be combined with a plywood seat shell (HAL Ply) or with an upholstered shell with replaceable fabric cover (HAL Soft). In the versions with a plastic seat shell and powder-coated base, HAL is also suitable for outdoor use.

Made from locally processed household waste

Depending on the properties that a product needs to have, Vitra uses different plastics in furniture production. This always raises the question of ecologically sensible, new alternatives and so there are now also recycled plastics, such as recycled polypropylene. Vitra uses a high-quality recycled polypropylene based on a mixture of materials from household recycling collections and, in particular, used packaging. Undyed, the processed raw material is dark grey and exhibits minute color pigmentation. Each batch produced has a different color nuance due to the different and uncontrollable color compositions of the processed recyclable materials. HAL RE is – after Tip Ton RE – the second chair that Vitra has produced using this new material and process, with more to follow.

Products of the HAL RE family

VITRA HAL RE Wood

Jasper Morrison, 2010/2014

RE refers to the HAL models with a seat shell made from recycled plastic. The use of recycled material from household waste causes fewer climate-damaging emissions and consumes less energy than original plastic. The different colors have tiny speckles due to the composition of the recycled material. To a certain extent, the seat shells are reminiscent of a natural material and, especially in combination with the characteristic wooden legs of HAL RE Wood, create a homely look.

VITRA HAL RE Armchair Wood

VITRA HAL RE Cantilever
