Why this sidechair earns its place
Some chairs are meant to disappear into the room. The Origin POP isn't one of them. Cast in a bold pure red, it's built to be the thing your eye lands on first — a modern, sculptural sidechair from Origin's POP range that turns a plain dining area into a room with a bit of personality. It arrives as a pack of two, so a full re-cover of a section of covers doesn't mean chasing down odd numbers.
Under the colour, it's a serious piece of contract furniture. The shell is polypropylene, made from more than 50% recycled material — Origin have built the sustainability credentials into the material itself rather than bolting them on afterwards. At a gross weight of 3.4kg, each chair is light enough for front-of-house staff to lift, stack and reset a room with one hand, and the finish carries a UV-resistant treatment so the colour stays true rather than chalking out after a summer on a terrace.
That combination of indoor/outdoor stacking chair covering a lot of ground — because it's rated for both, the POP chair can move from an indoor dining room to a beer garden or terrace and back without a second thought, which matters for venues that flex their floor plan between lunch service and an evening event. Origin back it with a 5-year warranty, a genuinely long guarantee for a chair at this price point and a sign of how confident they are in the polypropylene build.
