Design studio Formway designs the lightweight, stackable Lightly chair for furniture company Noho, both based in Wellington, New Zealand. The high-strength polymer frame of the Lightly chair is made from castor beans, and the seat is made from recycled waste. The design allows for efficient stacking, with 10 chairs stacking one meter high. This, together with its low weight of 6 lbs (2.75kg), reduces the shipping carbon footprint. Noho
