Modern plastic seating: Marco Maran’s Body to Body chairs

Plastic furniture isn’t always the cheap and tacky material that it is usually perceived to be. With the variety in manufacturing methods and processes today and with the creativity of the designers, there are many examples of plastic chairs and tables that look quite stylish if not outright unusual sometimes. Not only that, plastic is very versatile and lightweight. These are some of the reasons why tables and chairs made of plastic can be eminently suitable for commercial settings, like in restaurants, bars, and even hotels.

Take the Body to Body chairs designed by Marco Maran, for instance. If you own an inn or a similar hospitality establishment, you can use them as commercial hotel chairs. Why is that? Let’s start with the chair’s looks. It is said the chair, with the way its sculptural bone structure comes in harmony with the design’s shape and form evokes images of human contours. It comes in six colors or in stainless steel.

And now let’s look at the Body to Body chair’s construction. It is made of ASA+PC V0, though a polycarbonate version is available. The frame is of chrome steel and as mentioned earlier it comes finished in a variety of colors. The stainless steel version is suitable for outdoor use. Lightweight and stackable, it measures 83 cm high, 54 cm wide and 52 cm deep. The seat height is 45 cm. The plastic material from which the chair is made is very resilient; it is resistant to temperature changes, ultraviolet rays, and aging. Moreover, it has non-inflammable properties in that it is self-extinguishing.

Quality furniture does not have to be very ornate or made of expensive materials in order to be appreciated and enjoyed. Maran’s Body to Body chair is proof of that.
