At Milan Design Week, PROWL Studio and M4 Factory will debut the PEEL Chair at the "Expect Death" exhibition, a sustainable alternative to plastic stacking chairs made from biodegradable hemp, aiming to challenge the fast furniture industry's waste. This initiative highlights the chair's compostable design and lifecycle awareness, utilizing innovative materials such as hemp-based bioplastic and a compostable hemp foam cushion, developed to decompose as quickly as an orange peel. Held in the former Porta Vittoria abattoir, the exhibition explores the environmental impact of furniture waste and showcases the chair's journey from production to disposal. The collaboration between the women-owned PROWL Studio and M4 Factory underscores a commitment to sustainability, utilizing the Milan Design Week as a platform to transform sustainable design from concept to scalable reality, promoting a future of responsible, mass-produced furniture.
