Colouration
The Chubby is extruded from 100% recycled plastic. As such, the colour expression, colour distribution, and texture will differ from chair to chair. As the colour is achieved through sporadically introducing pigment to the extruder, each chair is to be considered a one-off in terms of its unique colour expression. These variations should be considered indicators of provenance; confirmation that each piece is entirely unique. To ensure as much cohesion as possible, all desired units of a single colour should be included in one order.
