Green: Punk Shark — the chair that refuses to behave

Bold Green chairs energizing a US creative office

Somewhere between Pisa and Florence, a Tuscan workshop named a chair Punk Shark — and that tells you everything about Green's attitude. The house, founded in 1996 as a spin-off of Fasem, declares its trade as «research, design, experimentation» in innovative plastic materials: chairs, stools and tables with recognisable shapes and names — Giotto, Etoile, Strass — built for homes and contract spaces from wine bars to concert halls. For US creative offices and F&B venues chasing personality per square foot, a Tuscan polymer with a mohawk is a shortcut.

La Mercanti brings Green to US cafés, studios and breakout floors — attitude included, maintenance not required.

FAQ

Is a statement chair right for a workplace?

In the right zone, yes: cafeterias, breakout areas and reception corners absorb personality that focus rooms can't — one bold piece resets the tone of a whole floor.

How practical are the technical plastics?

Very: colour through the material, surfaces that shrug off cleaning products, weight a barista moves one-handed — character with zero maintenance overhead.
