UNStudio 和 Ahrend 联合推出高度可持续、符合人体工程学和适应性强的办公椅‘Remode’。Remode的设计灵感来自运动鞋，是 UNStudio 与世界领先的办公家具供应商 Ahrend合作的成果。

UNStudio and Ahrend are proud to introduce the highly sustainable, ergonomic and adaptable task chair ‘Remode’. Inspired by sneaker design, Remode is the result of a collaboration with Ahrend, one of the world’s leading providers of office furniture.

当前最具可持续性的办公椅
The most sustainable task chair yet

Ben van Berkel：“Ahrend要求我们设计出最环保的办公椅。不言而喻，他们希望这款椅子美观大方，但更重要的是，它必须在可持续性和人体工程学方面表现出色。”

Ben van Berkel: “Ahrend asked us to design the most environmentally friendly task chair possible. It goes without saying that they wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing, but even more than that, it had to excel in terms of sustainability and ergonomics.”

在设计Remode之初，UNStudio 和 Ahrend 就决定从可持续发展的角度出发，然后再进行后面的设计和选择。最终，这把椅子不仅采用了高度耐用和通过可持续方式采购的材料，而且重量极轻，同时采用了可拆卸设计。这意味着各个部件都可以进行维修、更换和回收，从而延长椅子和材料的使用寿命。

From the outset of the design process for Remode, both UNStudio and Ahrend were determined to make all their choices from a sustainable standpoint. The result is a chair that is not just made from highly durable and sustainably sourced materials, it is also incredibly lightweight and designed for disassembly. This means that individual components can be repaired, replaced and recycled to extend the lifespan of the chair and the materials.

Ahrend公司首席执行官Rolf Verspuij说道：“我们认为十分重要的是，开发一种产品不仅要以可持续的方式生产，而且要在多个用户生命周期内真正实现循环利用。延长使用寿命是使用产品的最可持续的方式。”

Rolf Verspuij, CEO Ahrend: “We felt it was important to develop a product that is not only produced sustainably, but is truly designed for circularity over multiple user life cycles. Extending the lifespan is ultimately the most sustainable way to use a product.”

Remode的结构部件由Envalior公司创造的Akulon RePurposed材料制成。这种创新材料具有出色的机械性能和强度。通过采用这种材料，Remode包含78%的再循环塑料, 其中62%是再循环海洋塑料。

The structural parts of Remode are made from the Envalior material Akulon® RePurposed. This innovative material provides outstanding mechanical performance and strength. By using this sustainable material the Remode chair contains 78% recycled plastics, of which 62% is recycled ocean plastics.

Envalior 公司业务发展经理Dannie van Osch 说道：“Akulon RePurposed 改变了行业的游戏规则。不仅是指家具，还有其他各类产品。3 年前，我做梦也不敢想 Ahrend Remode 椅子会是用这种材料制成的。”

Dannie van Osch, Business Development Manager bij Envalior : “Akulon RePurposed is a game-changer in the industry. Not just for furniture, but for products of all kinds. 3 years ago I would not have dared to dream that the Ahrend Remode chair would be made of this material.”

椅座和椅背使用的网状织物是一种坚固的自支撑织物，集时尚、舒适和可持续发展于一体。它由80%消费后的再循环聚酯纤维制成，并通过了Cradle to Cradle认证®。

The netweave used for the seat and back is a strong self-supporting fabric that merges style, comfort and sustainability. It consists of 80% post-consumer recycled polyester and is Cradle to Cradle® Certified.

随时随地，享受使用
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere

如今，我们的工作方式和场所越来越多样化。因此，Remode的设计旨在适用于任何地方。Remode 不仅仅是一款适用于办公环境的座椅，它目前有粉色、黑色和灰色三种颜色可供选择，其设计旨在丰富各式各样的室内空间，无论是传统的办公环境、”第三空间 “还是家中。

The ways and places we work in today are becoming increasingly diverse. As such, Remode has been designed to be used virtually anywhere. Not just a chair for the office environment, Remode – which is currently available in the colours pink, black and grey – was designed to enrich any interior, be that a traditional office setting, a ‘third space’, or at home.

“再定义”运动鞋
When is a sneaker not a shoe?

Remode的设计灵感来自运动鞋。“运动鞋的设计让我着迷，因为它结合了人体工程学、舒适度、材料创新和美学”。Ben van Berkel 说道。“运动鞋象征着活动、健康和成就。运动鞋赋能我们发挥出最佳水平，同时还能保护我们的身体。总的来说，运动鞋是最多用途、最舒适、最健康的服装。我想设计一款具备所有这些特质的椅子，甚至更多。”这种灵感体现在设计细节中，如颜色控制按钮、流畅的轮廓、颜色分类以及展现椅子机械结构的网状编织座椅。然而，这种灵感还体现在椅子的功能特性、人体工程学设计和高舒适度上。

Remode was inspired by sneakers. “Sneaker design is fascinating to me because it has to combine ergonomics, comfort, material innovation and aesthetics,” says Ben van Berkel. “Sneakers signify activity, health and achievement. They enable us to perform to our best, yet still protect our bodies. But overall, they are the most versatile, comfortable and healthy item of clothing you can wear. I wanted to create a chair that had all of these qualities and more.” This inspiration is reflected in the design details, such as the accent colour control button, the smooth contouring, the colour choices and the netweave seating that reveals the mechanics of the chair. However, it is also found in the functional properties of the chair; in the ergonomics and the high comfort level.

Remode 符合人体工程学标准，可保护人体免受重复性劳损，促进良好姿势的形成，并减轻脊柱承受的过大压力。除了灵活的扶手外，这款办公椅还采用了同步移动装置，使座椅和靠背能够平稳地一起移动，从而促进正确的坐姿。由于控制按钮在坐姿状态下很容易触及，而且所有功能都可以单独调节，所以Remode的适应性极强，可以实现高度个性化。我们还尽力确保座椅和背部支撑的最大舒适度，为此我们提供了网织或软垫，或两者的混合选择。

Remode meets the ergonomic standards to protect the body from repetitive strains, encourages good posture and reduces excessive stress on the spine. The chair is extremely adaptable and enables a high level of customisation. Alongside flexible armrests, the task chair features a synchro-movement mechanism that enables the seat and back to move smoothly together, promoting an active posture, and as the control buttons are easy to reach from the sitting position and all of the features can be adjusted individually. Great effort was also taken to ensure the maximum comfort possible for the seating and the back support, for which there is a choice between netweave or upholstered cushioning, or a mix of the two.

Ben van Berkel：“Remode主要是一把办公椅，但它用途广泛，舒适度高，几乎可以适用于任何需要长时间坐着进行的事情。我们之所以想与Ahrend合作，是因为他们在实践面向未来的设计领域处于领先地位。他们通过拆卸设计、可持续材料选择和翻新经典产品来实现这一目标。他们所做的一切都是为了延长产品的使用寿命。”

Ben van Berkel: “Remode is principally a task chair, but it’s so versatile and comfortable that it can be used for practically anything you need to do for any length of time while sitting. And we wanted to work with Ahrend because they are at the forefront when it comes to designing for the future. They do this by designing for disassembly, making sustainable material choices and refurbishing their classics. Everything they do focuses on extending product life.”
