“Myto” chair introduces nano-furniture era

Posted by teamdustrial On October - 24 - 2007

“This innovative piece of design furniture is a cantilever chair made entirely of BASF’s novel, especially easy-flowing engineering plastic Ultradur® High Speed. Chemically speaking, this material belongs to the family of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and its special processing properties come from nanoparticles. The high flowability, coupled with the strength of this plastic, allows an elegant transition from thick to thin cross sections. Even though the chair is manufactured as a monobloc and has a sturdy frame, its net-like perforations integrated into the backrest and the seat give it a graceful appearance.”
