Jane Atfield’s iconic RCP2 Chair in black and white, re-editioned in
an exclusive run of 25 for Emma Scully Gallery, has been realized in a black and
white terrazzo-style color way for the 21st century, showcasing the new
potentials of post-consumer recycled plastic. Working with the original producer
of the original run of the RCP2 chairs, Stephen Yemm, this color way also
matches a newly produced table by Jane Atfield, exclusive to Emma Scully
Gallery.
Jane Atfield
designer
Jane Atfield (b. 1964) is a British furniture designer. Atfield’s pioneering work in sustainability and ecologically conscious design, began during her time studying furniture design at the Royal College of Art (RCA), where she came across a small sample of Missouri-based manufacturers Yemm and Hart’s recycled, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic board sheets, who produced the first chair. After debuting her first recycled plastic chair during her graduation show at the RCA in 1992, Atfield developed MADE OF WASTE, an agency for recycled materials, where she explored new ways to incorporate recycled materials within her design process. After studying architecture at the Polytechnic of Central London, Atfield went on to earn her MA in Furniture Design and Production from the Royal College of Art. Atfield’s work is part of the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Design Museum London, and the British Crafts Council.
