Press release: Pli to launch new range at 100% Design, 24-27 September

London-based eco-friendly furniture maker Pli Design Ltd will launch its 2009-2010 furniture range at the 100% Design Exhibition.

The exhibition runs from 24 to 27 September at Earl’s Court in London.

Pli is showing the Mark 2 design of the Reee chair, with a 14% carbon footprint reduction and a stronger frame that securely stacks 10 chairs high. The Mark 1 Reee chair launched at Sony PlayStation’s London HQ in September 2008 and can already be seen in use at many new eco-friendly buildings around the country.

The Reee chair is made out of 100% recycled plastic from games consoles, wrapped around a tubular steel frame. The Reee chair is an example of home-grown sustainable design: developed and manufactured in the UK from locally sourced recycled materials.

The Reee chair will also feature in the Geffrye Museum’s “Eco Home” exhibition from October 2009 to February 2010. The Geffrye Museum in London explores the home in Britain from 1600 to the present day.

The Wrap and Whitechapel table series exemplify a different approach to sustainable design. In place of high-quality recycled plastic, Pli has chosen natural raw materials like FSC certified Ash timber and bamboo combined with pressed steel. The result is a range of sleek, strong tables that can be cared for and treasured for years.

Taken together, this range represents Pli’s uncompromisingly eco-friendly product development philosophy matched with their commitment to affordable, appealing designs. View the full collection at stand H34, 100% Design 2009.
