ZHA與西班牙Nagami品牌合作,發表以再生醫療廢棄物所列印出Echo Chair椅具作品
ZHA與西班牙Nagami品牌聯手,發表採用再生醫療廢棄物3D列印Echo Chair椅具作品,展現環境永續概念
英國建築師事務所 ZHA(前身為Zaha Hadid Architects)攜手西班牙品牌Nagami,近期推出名為Echo Chair的3D列印單椅,原料採用回收再製材質。

外觀運用參數化設計軟體繪製,呈現出雕塑感造型,背靠部分從高處順勢延伸至地面,座墊兩側微微向上翹起,賦予使用者被包覆的乘坐感受。
.
視覺上彷如由兩個元素組成,實際列印過程卻以單一連續物件呈現;ZHA表示,設計理念模糊結構、表面與人體工學的界線,將之視為一套整合的系統。
.
兩片連續表面從共同結構邊緣延展,外型互為呼應,共享基礎幾何形狀卻各自發揮不同功能。
.
製造過程使用 PET,原料取自工業廢棄物,包含大量單次使用醫療器材,大眾熟知的西班牙品牌Nagami發揮專長,將這些廢棄物轉化為可使用的家具。
.
表面呈現來自持續列印堆疊形成層次的條紋質感,ZHA實驗室藉由反覆研究,結合電腦運算設計與大型增材製造技術(large-scale additive manufacturing)。
.
設計團隊從自然景觀取材,開發出四種配色,包含白色、黑色、白至半透明漸層,以及加入生物基軟木複合物的焦糖色。
.
ZHA專案設計總監Sebastian Andia指出,團隊渴望將資源變成人們喜愛的物件,證明永續環保與視覺吸引可以並存。
.
成品表面紋理展現類似石材與礦物質的豐富質感,讓回收材質在現代室內裝潢中能與天然素材相互搭配。
.
Echo Chair目前於年度設計展覽London Creates展出。展覽由ZHA策劃,地點位於杜魯門啤酒廠(The Truman Brewery),展期至2026年7月26日。Nagami於2018年發布首個列印家具系列,當時就包含兩款由ZHA設計的作品。

建築事務所ZHA與西班牙品牌Nagami合作推出Echo Chair,採用回收工業與醫療廢棄物列印。設計配合參數化軟體,讓背靠與座墊呈現一體成形的幾何美感。椅面紋理模擬石材質感,能與室內空間搭配。目前此作於倫敦The Truman Brewery的London Creates展覽公開亮相,展期至2026年7月26日。產品兼顧環境永續與居家實用性,達成綠色設計目標。
Architecture studio ZHA, formerly Zaha Hadid Architects, has worked with Spanish brand Nagami to launch the 3D-printed Echo Chair made from recycled plastic.
The sculptural chair, envisioned using parametric design software, features an arching backrest that extends to the ground in one plane and a seat that scoops up at the sides to hug the sitter.
Although these two elements appear to be separate at first glance, they were actually printed as one continuous piece.
"Conceived as a single continuous system, the chair dissolves the distinction between structure, surface and ergonomics," said ZHA.
"Generated from two continuous surfaces emerging from a shared structural edge, one surface of the Echo Chair becomes an echo of the other, evolving from the same underlying geometry while assuming a different role."
The Echo Chair was designed by ZHA in collaboration with Nagami, a specialist in 3D printing recycled plastics.
To craft the curving chairs, the studios used polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PET) made from recycled industrial waste, such as single-use medical plastics.
The furniture has a ribbed surface thanks to the layers of plastic built up in the continuous 3D printing process.
"Developed through an iterative research process at ZHA Lab, the Echo Chair combines computational design with large-scale additive manufacturing," said ZHA.
"3D-printing with recycled plastics, Nagami has created a new ecosystem for architecture and design, recovering what others have left behind, transforming waste into design, ready for a new life."
Informed by colours found in natural landscapes, ZHA and Nagami developed four colourways for the chair – white, black, a white-to-translucent gradient pattern, and a caramel tone that gets its colour from a bio-based cork composite.
"Our ambition was to transform an abundant, overlooked resource into an object people genuinely want to live with, demonstrating that sustainability and desirability can go hand in hand," ZHA project design director Sebastian Andia told Dezeen.
"The chair's textured finish also evokes the richness of stone and mineral surfaces, helping recycled plastic feel at home alongside natural materials in contemporary interiors."
The Echo Chair is on display as part of this year's London Creates, an architecture and design trade show curated by ZHA, which takes place at The Truman Brewery until 26 July.
Nagami launched its first collection of 3D-printed chairs in 2018, which included two chairs designed by ZHA.
