ZHA and Nagami Launch 3D-Printed ECHO Chair Collection

Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) has unveiled the ECHO Chair collection, a new line of furniture designed for Spanish design studio Nagami. The collection, which explores geometric resonance, utilizes large-scale, continuous-extrusion 3D printing technology. Each chair in the ECHO collection is fabricated in a single, uninterrupted process, allowing geometry, structure, and ergonomics to emerge simultaneously without the need for separate parts or post-production assembly. This method eliminates assembly steps and emphasizes a unified design logic.

The defining characteristic of the ECHO Chair is its use of two continuous surfaces that originate from a shared structural edge. One surface forms the seat and base, while the other mirrors this geometry to create the backrest. The collection comprises four distinct styles, each showcasing different material expressions of the same core form. The White Chair and Black Chair are constructed from rPETG with glass fiber, providing monochromatic finishes. The Gradient Chair transitions from white to translucent hues, and the Caramel Chair incorporates PETG with a bio-based cork composite, adding a warm texture.

In alignment with Nagami's focus on sustainable design, the ECHO Chair collection is made from large-scale extrusion polymers derived from recovered industrial waste, including single-use medical plastics. The white and black models combine rPETG with glass fiber for enhanced structural integrity, while the caramel version integrates a bio-based cork composite. The collection is currently on display at London's Truman Brewery until July 26, 2026, offering a tangible example of advanced 3D printing in furniture design.
