Jay & Co at Heal’s
In an exclusive collaboration with Heal’s, eco-designer, renowned furniture restorer and sustainable craftsman, Jay Blades has launched the Legacy Chair by Jay & Co – the first piece he has designed and brought to market from scratch.
Using his breadth of experience in restoration and giving vintage furniture a new lease of life through the Jay & Co brand, the Legacy Chair sees Blades leave his own stamp on the industry as part of his vision to tackle fast-fashion and promote sustainable design.
Crafted entirely from recycled and reclaimed materials, the chair looks to reduce waste through longevity and responsible resourcing. The piece is upholstered in Camira Oceanic and Depth fabric, which endeavours to combat marine pollution by recycling plastic salvaged from the ocean, or from bottles destined for landfill, to make a lightly textured SEAQUAL YARN ®.
Jay Blades commented: “For a long time, I have loved being able to breathe new life into vintage and worn-out furniture. Now, I can take that mission further by finding the beauty in waste and reclaimed materials, turning them into something completely new, and I can proudly say that I am leaving a legacy behind with the chair we have created.”
