A chair should support you and be there for you whatever the occasion or situation. Lightly does just that.

“He ain't heavy”

01

Light and nimble

Lightly is super lightweight—just 2.75 kg—and thanks to our high-performance plant-based polymer it's super strong, too. A chair this lightweight is a dream to move, making it effortless to adapt your home for different activities and events.

02

Stacks and adapts

Lightly stacks with maximum efficiency to be there when you need it and disappear when you don’t. Ten chairs stack just one meter high making this lightweight stacker the perfect chair for every occasion.

03

Fits how you sit

Whatever your posture, Lightly makes sure you’re comfortable. Lightly's curved back wraps to support your lower back, while the back posts are designed to flex subtly, and the seat is contoured to fit any body in any posture.

Chairs that care

Product Image Product Image

01

Sustainable materials

Lightly is made from plants and waste. The frame is made from castor beans, a renewable, carbon hungry plant which is turned into our high performance polymer. The seat is made from post-consumer recycled waste giving another life to a great material.

02

Consume less

Lightly only uses what planet-friendly material is necessary. Efficient stacking shrinks Lightly's shipping footprint, and we make each chair using 82% renewable electricity in New Zealand.

03

For a long time and a good time

Lightly surpasses BIFMA and BS-EN accreditation, two of the world's toughest furniture strength and durability standards allowing us to offer a 5-year warranty.
