German design studio Boldobjects has released the Flow Chair, a 3D-printed rocking chair built from a single continuous form with no joints, screws, padding, or traditional legs. Designed by Daniel Streilein and Henry Boy, the piece uses its geometry alone to respond to a sitter’s movements, shifting as the user leans forward or settles back without any mechanical components.
The chair is produced using large-scale pellet 3D printing, an industrial process that makes it possible to produce the fluid, organic curves that would be cost-prohibitive through conventional molding or casting. The visible layer lines left by the print head are treated by the designers as a deliberate surface texture rather than a flaw, functioning as a visible record of the object’s construction.
Every material decision points toward end-of-life recyclability. The stool is made entirely from recycled PETG with no adhesives, hardware, or secondary components, meaning it can re-enter a production cycle without complex processing. Branding is embossed directly into the base material rather than applied as a separate label. Manufacturing takes place locally in Germany, shortening the supply chain.
The chair is available in multiple colorways including deep forest green, powder blue, sage, and near-black.
