Vepa UK launches Hemp Carbon: Furniture with modern character & natural foundations.

The Hemp Carbon chair collection by Vepa UK straddles style and sustainability.

This new range while being a variant of Vepa's existing Hemp collection, has a significant addition: material pioneer Plantics has further developed the previously introduced bio-resin into Carbon Capture Composite. The addition of biochar (also referred to as charcoal) creates a deeper, more powerful colour and a modern appearance, without compromising on Vepa's core principles.

The foundation of the chair remains unchanged. 100% biological, natural and recyclable. Developed together with Plantics, based on Vepa's circular design principles and finished with natural linseed oil. No coatings, no additives that hinder reuse. What you see is what the material itself expresses.

"Hemp Carbon not only contributes as a more sustainable product, but also to a healthier environments. By choosing biobased raw materials, we reduce the use of fossil resources and lower environmental impact throughout the lifecycle. This benefits the planet, today and in the long term."

Vepa shares that Hemp Carbon has been crafted to fit seamlessly into the workplace shift towards more homely, comforting settings. The addition of Carbon Capture Composite gives the chair a deep, contemporary colour that suits modern interiors while maintaining its natural character. The subtle colour variations are not imperfections, but proof of a pure material. Each chair is unique.

For users, this is more than an aesthetic choice. Natural materials feel warmer, age beautifully and contribute to a pleasant, human-centred working environment. Hemp Carbon therefore supports both sustainable buildings and the wellbeing of the people who use them every day.

The range comprises: Hemp Fine Carbon / Hemp Medium Carbon / Hemp High Carbon.
