First chair made of Luran
plastics by Softline All Kit
Softline All Kit turns to transparent Luran plastics from BASF to produce
the eye catching seat shell of SLIM, its new designer chair.
The Italian company Softline** All Kit is using Luran* 368 R, a BASF
styrene-acrylonitrile-copolymer (SAN) plastics, to produce the seat shell
of SLIM, its new designer chair. SLIM is the first chair to be made of
Luran plastics by Softline All Kit. The thermoplastic stands out for its
high transparency and brilliance, making it the material of choice for
designers aiming to create eye-catching items.
When it comes to the manufacture of transparent plastics furniture, Luran’s
high stiffness, low density and ease of processing allow this plastic
to replace other transparent materials such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate)
or PC (polycarbonate). Luran is more resistant to scratches and stress
cracking than PC. “This material is not only easy to process, it
is also highly resistant to chemicals,” explains Manuela Marzona,
working at Softline All Kit. “This makes the chair sturdy, esthetically
appealing and comfortable at the same time.” The SLIM chair was
showcased at the plastics trade fair in Dusseldorf and can be purchased
from Softline. Softline All Kit is an Italian manufacturer of furniture
and accessories headquartered near Pavia di Udine.
