Evonik

Monomaterial Seat

Vestaro and Poschwatta Automotive developed a monomaterial seat for Evonik that is entirely made from PA12 plastic and is optimally recyclable.

Among the products of Evonik Industries AG are a range of plastics, and the company is engaged with the themes of sustainability and resource conservation. The aspects of materials and their use in an ecologically conscious way should be visible in a project. Vestaro and Poschwatta Automotive therefore developed a monomaterial seat for Evonik that is entirely made from PA12 plastic and is therefore optimally recyclable. The small amount of steel required for joints and structural reinforcement can be easily separated from the plastic components and passed into its own material cycle.

Focusing on a lightweight design and bionically inspired, Poschwatta Automotive developed all the structural elements on the basis of the least possible use of material. To further reduce volume, Poschwatta Automotive designed flat seat cushions that are linked to the structure with spring elements. Different levels of comfort can be replicated depending on the design of the springs.

Finally, Poschwatta Automotive also created a color concept that above all conveys the green aspects of the seat.
