Dezeen promotion: Danish brand Fritz Hansen's relaunched N02 Recycle chair, designed in collaboration with Japanese studio Nendo, is made from plastic household waste and has been awarded the EU-Ecolabel.
Fritz Hansen is launching an updated version of its N02 Recycle chair, which was first released in 2019 and has a backrest that was informed by a folded piece of paper on Nendo founder Oki Sato's studio table. This simple, elegant design provides support for both the upper and lower back.
The chair is stackable and comes in seven different colours

The label was given to the N02-10 and the N02-11 with powder-coated legs to show that the chairs meet the European Union's ecological requirements.
