The Minus Chair is a chair designed by Jenkins&Uhnger for Minus Furniture. The brand and chair name, Minus implies that their furniture is designed to reduce waste and have a low carbon footprint. It took the company three years to produce the chair, analyzing each component of the regenerative cycle, from sourcing the material to the production of the piece to its future life span. The Minus way involves methodologies that are fully regenerative without compromising on comfort and quality. The brand calculates the impact of its pieces, measuring the carbon emissions and benchmarking against other manufacturers. The timber used for the chair is sourced from a conscious use of limited forest resources and the production is supported by renewable energy. Minus takes full responsibility for the reuse of the materials of the chair after its use, ensuring that the chair never becomes wasteful. 

The Minus Chair exceeds the industry standard warranty of five to ten years, which is still quite generous for most furniture manufacturers. The brand creates an option for the consumer to rent the pieces and creates a subscription model, taking full responsibility and ownership of the utilization of the material life span. They encourage individuals to rent rather than own the Minus Chair so they can take ownership for it never being wasted. The Minus Chair is more than just an ordinary piece of furniture. It stands for the new standard of environmental consciousness within the furniture industry.
