There are chairs that look very pretty and artsy but are probably not the most comfortable place to sit on. I’m the kind of person that would care more about a chair’s functionality rather than its design, as long as it’s comfortable and would let me sit on it for a long time. But there are those that also can be both and this new one from furniture brand Heller seems like it is.

Designer: Hlynur Atlason

The Limbo Chair is something that you can use either indoor or outdoor. Its “swooping, sculptural form” makes it look like an art piece you can find at a museum but since it’s a chair foremost, it was also designed to “balance flexibility and support, playfulness and durability.” They say it’s comfortable enough to be able to use it while you’re resting, reading a book, or just sitting without agenda.

The other special thing about this chair is that it is 100% recyclable. It uses a high percentage of recycled plastic polyethylene blend. What percentage of the material this is depends on the color, with black being the highest. It is available in warm and neutral colors like black, bone, sand, terra cotta, wheat, and cantaloupe, to blend in whatever environment you place it in.

The chair seems to be low enough for you to relax in, although I don’t know if I can last in it even though I’m not the tallest person. It will look good though if you add it to your space especially if one of the available colors matches your aesthetics.

The world of luxury watchmaking is evolving, and ID Genève is at the forefront with its Circular 1 Grenat Dial Nisiar Limited Edition watch. This timepiece tells a compelling story—a story of sustainability, innovation, and exquisite design. Backed by Hollywood icon and environmental advocate Leonardo DiCaprio, ID Genève has crafted a watch that uniquely combines elegance with eco-consciousness.

Designer: ID Genève

At first glance, the Circular 1 Grenat Dial captivates with its vibrant red sunburst dial, inspired by the rich tones of fine wine. This striking dial is housed in a case crafted entirely from 100% recycled stainless steel, demonstrating that luxury and sustainability coexist beautifully. The 41mm case, polished to a high sheen, offers a substantial yet comfortable fit designed to suit any occasion, whether a casual outing or a formal event.

What sets this watch apart is its aesthetics and commitment to sustainability. The strap, made from Nisiar vegan leather, is derived from grape marc, a byproduct of winemaking. This innovative material composition consists of 75% natural components, offering a luxurious feel without the environmental impact of traditional leather. The deep brown color of the strap comes from tannins extracted from various grape varieties, adding a unique story to the wrist.

Underneath its sophisticated exterior, the Circular 1 Grenat Dial is powered by a refurbished ETA 2824 automatic movement. By choosing to use a movement sourced from unsold stock, ID Genève embraces a circular approach, reducing waste while maintaining precision and reliability. The movement features a 38-hour power reserve and includes hour, minute, second, and date functions, all elegantly displayed on the intricate dial.

Each Circular 1 Grenat Dial element is designed with intention and care, from the 50-meter water-resistant case to the recycled sapphire crystal that protects the dial. These features, combined with local sourcing and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, highlight ID Genève’s pioneering efforts in sustainable watchmaking.

The Circular 1 Grenat Dial watch is a symbol of change in an industry where fast fashion usually dominates. It defies conventional ideas of luxury by using more environmentally friendly materials and techniques. This watch isn’t just an accessory; it represents certain values and reflects a world that is progressing toward a more sustainable future.

For those seeking a timepiece that embodies style and substance, the ID Genève Circular 1 Grenat Dial Nisiar Limited Edition is an exceptional choice. It tells the time and the story of innovation, sustainability, and the future of luxury watchmaking.
