Sustainability doesn’t always show up as a grand gesture. Sometimes it appears as a lightweight chair that joins you for an impromptu lunch in the garden, or as the slightly crooked drawing a child leaves on the table after an afternoon of play. At Garbar, we understand this well. That’s why our outdoor furniture is designed not only with people in mind, but with the planet, too. And the best example of this commitment comes through two of our most beloved designs: the Garrotxa chair and the Julieta kids’ chair.
Julieta: furniture to grow with awareness
Alongside it, the Julieta collection reminds us that sustainability also happens close to the ground. This kids’ line—featuring a chair and a table—is designed to accompany little ones through their earliest adventures: drawing, reading, imagining new worlds. Like Garrotxa, the Julieta chair is made from recycled and recyclable polypropylene, turning every moment of play into a small gesture toward a more conscious future. Because at Garbar, we believe the furniture they grow up with should also care for the planet they will inherit. Starting early, surrounding them with objects that respect the environment, and making them part of this act of care are ways of teaching a kinder, more responsible tomorrow—one full of possibilities.
Garbar shows that sustainable design doesn’t need to be complicated or distant. On the contrary, it can be warm, every day, accessible, and meant for everyone. That’s what Garbar furniture is: made to be lived with, enjoyed, and to ensure its positive impact goes far beyond the object itself. In the end, choosing sustainable chairs is choosing a way of being in the world. And with Garrotxa and Julieta, that choice becomes as easy as sitting down.
Garrotxa: an icon reimagined
The Garrotxa chair is the reinvention of an icon. Inspired by the classic monobloc chair—a symbol of democratic design—Garrotxa offers a narrower, lighter, and more adaptable version. We named it Garrotxa because it feels deeply ours: a way to honor the natural landscape that surrounds us and to value what shapes our identity. It’s a plastic chair designed to blend into any style, space, or generation. Stackable, durable, and suited for both indoor and outdoor use, it becomes as practical as it is honest.
It’s also event-ready: sturdy, easy to move, and the perfect solution to keep at home for those moments when unexpected guests arrive. And most importantly, it’s made from recycled plastic and is fully recyclable. A design built to start over again and again.
