Colorful polycarbonate creates café chairs with style and strength

In House found its solution in Makrolon® 2607 polycarbonate and color and special effect technologies from Covestro. Using Makrolon® gives the chairs increased durability, and LEDA® compounded color technology allows for a wide range of unique color options.

The café Pocket Chair, for both the commercial and residential markets, is 84 cm tall x 48 cm deep and 46 cm wide. The base is made of chrome-plated steel, and Makrolon® forms the shell.

Thanks to Makrolon® and LEDA® technology, In House Furniture had more design freedom to explore new ideas and ultimately produce the chair the way it envisioned.

In House offered the injection-molded chairs in four colors – translucent white, transparent blue, transparent red and clear. Additional colors were available upon request.
