We think of the chair as a ubiquitous object but every now and then there is a design that ticks all the boxes and makes its presence felt on the global stage.
September 2nd, 2025
The Little Perillo Eco is such a chair and is available from Züco, a brand of the Dauphin HumanDesign® Group. In this new iteration of Little Perillo, the Eco version is made predominantly from recycled material comprising post-consumer plastics from household recycling and it is a most sustainable addition to our design environment.
Designed by Martin Ballendat, The Little Perillo is an award-winning classic but now with this new Eco iteration, the excellent sustainability credentials make this chair even more desirable.

The design of the seat, backrest, armrests and sub-frame combine to produce a sculptural piece that is all smooth lines with curvaceous appeal. The Little Perillo Eco sits perfectly inside or outside and adds a touch of elegance whether situated in a home, a café or other commercial locations.
While recycled materials have never looked so good, the Little Perillo Eco sets high standards for responsibility and care of our environment. Plastic waste is sorted, cleaned and processed into a granulate and the recycled material displays characteristic inclusions of dark pigments. Little Perillo Eco shows just what can be created from recycled waste that has been fashioned for reuse and another life.

Little Perillo Eco is conceived as a four-legged design, made from polished aluminium or powder-coated aluminium, coloured the same as the shell and there is an option for a swivelling chrome circular base. It is also available in natural beech that can be stained in oak or walnut.
The shell is made from 100 per cent recycled granulate consisting of post-consumer plastics and there are a range of comfortable seat cushions and a choice of fabrics.
Along with an excellent form and sustainability credentials, it is a selection of sublime pastel colours that catches the eye and makes Little Perillo Eco so very desirable.
As a chair, Little Perillo Eco is the total package, made for every occasion with a design that is beautiful, timeless and future ready for today.
