Pink, bold and sustainable: the Charlie Chair Ultra Pink conquers the children's room!
Imagine you could not only furnish your child's room at home with a real eye-catcher, but also with a sustainable piece of furniture that is produced in an environmentally conscious way. The Charlie Chair Ultra Pink from ecoBirdy is just that - a bright and cheerful seat that instantly enhances any child's room. With its vibrant pink tones and child-friendly design, this chair brings color and joie de vivre to the room while providing safe and comfortable seating. Even better, the Charlie Chair is not only a design object, but also a statement for sustainability. Made from recycled plastic parts, it gives the children's room that certain something and creates a place where children can play, learn and be creative.
Who is behind ecoBirdy?
ecoBirdy is more than just a furniture manufacturer. It's a company with a mission: to show the world that eco-friendly products don't have to be boring. Founders Vanessa Yuan and Joris Vanbriel set up ecoBirdy in Antwerp in 2016 to fundamentally change the way we look at plastic. What began as a research project has now developed into a well-known brand that focuses on sustainable furniture. The idea? Plastic is not waste, but a valuable resource that can be used creatively.
To this end, Vanessa and Joris have developed their own recycling process and created the unique material Ecothylene. It consists of discarded plastic toys that are processed into colorful, stable and safe plastic in an elaborate process. Each of these compositions has its very own look - a bit like terrazzo or colorful marble patterns. The result: every ecoBirdy product is unique and tells a story.
The Charlie Chair Ultra Pink - A real highlight in the children's room
The Charlie Chair is not just a chair - it is a work of art that is perfectly tailored to the needs of children. With its rounded shapes, wide seat and stable base, it ensures comfort and safety while playing and learning. Thanks to its light weight, even small children can easily move it around the room without having to worry about it tipping over.
The limited Ultra Pink Edition brings extra vibrancy to every child's room with its bright color. The combination of different shades of pink radiates warmth and joy, and the speckled surface ensures that each Charlie Chair becomes an individual work of art. The colors are not painted on or artificially added, but are created directly by mixing the different recycled plastic parts. This makes each chair unique and special.
A chair with a strong message
The Charlie Chair is the result of a comprehensive recycling process and embodies ecoBirdy's holistic view of sustainability. This is because each piece is made from faulty, no longer needed products from the Belgian brand Quut. These plastic parts, which would otherwise end up in landfill, are collected by ecoBirdy and reworked into a high-quality material using a patented process.
What makes it so special? Each piece is manufactured under fair conditions and with a lot of manual work - from collecting the raw material to sorting and grinding the plastic. ecoBirdy relies on local workshops and social inclusion: the sorting process is carried out in sheltered workshops to offer people with limited opportunities a job perspective. This means that the Charlie Chair is not only good for the environment, but also supports local communities.
How does the Charlie Chair fit into your home?
Wondering why the Charlie Chair is the perfect addition to your home? Here are a few good reasons why it cuts a fine figure not only in the children's room, but in many areas of your home:
1. children love bright colors and soft shapes. The Charlie Chair offers both and is therefore perfect for any playroom or children's room. Its stable shape and ergonomic design ensure that little ones can sit comfortably and move around safely.
2. the Charlie Chair is weatherproof and can therefore be used both indoors and outdoors. It is light enough to be carried by the children themselves, yet robust enough to be used for many years.
3. ecoBirdy supports a company that actively fights against plastic waste. You are helping to ensure that less plastic ends up in landfill and instead gets a new life in the form of a stylish piece of furniture.
ecoBirdy's mission and activism
ecoBirdy is not just about making beautiful furniture. The company also wants to promote awareness of sustainable consumption and takes a holistic approach to this. In collaboration with schools and educational institutions, Vanessa and Joris have launched the ecoBirdy education program. Here, children learn through play why recycling is important and how new, beautiful things can be created from plastic waste. And ecoBirdy's commitment does not stop there. The company has made a conscious decision to base its production entirely in Belgium and Italy in order to guarantee fair working conditions and keep its ecological footprint as small as possible. When it comes to transportation, ecoBirdy also ensures that the products reach the customer in the most resource-conserving and environmentally friendly way possible.
International awards
The fact that ecoBirdy is not only at the forefront in terms of sustainability, but also in terms of design, is demonstrated by the large number of international awards. The Charlie Chair and other ecoBirdy products have already been exhibited in renowned museums - from the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum in New York to the Young V&A in London. In 2019, ecoBirdy received the B Corp Label, one of the world's most recognized certifications for companies that have a positive social and environmental impact. ecoBirdy is particularly proud to have won the German Sustainability Design Award in the "Pioneer" category. This award is proof that ecoBirdy is recognized as a pioneer in environmentally friendly furniture design.
The Charlie Chair Ultra Pink is not just a chair. It is a statement for responsible design, for sustainable innovation and for the courage to create something beautiful from waste. So if you're looking for a special piece of furniture that gives your children's room that certain something and makes the world a better place at the same time, then the Charlie Chair Ultra Pink is just the thing for you.
