Welcome to Pilius X Design

The material
Pilius X processed from human hair is 20% stronger than standard fibreglass. The material is a bio-polymer and mixed with a bio-resin it then becomes a sustainable and recyclable material. There are 2800 tonnes of waste hair cuttings produced in the UK annually.

It has many applications including: Architecture, furniture, automobile and marine industry, millinery, clothing, and shoes using the correct matrix (the bonding agent ie resin).

The chair
Known at the Stiletto chair and ergonomically designed to give back and lumber support the chair is made from 100% human hair mixed with polyester matrix. Future chairs will be made with bio-resins.
