ORIGIN STORY
From industrial steel leftovers to a stackable chair with a story: let us present Rover's Scrap Chair!
The Story
The Scrap Chair is a versatile indoor-outdoor seat made entirely from industrial waste streams.
Designed by Tom De Koninck for ROVER, the chair transforms overlooked steel leftovers into a functional piece of furniture with a strong visual identity. The perforation pattern in the seat and backrest comes directly from the original industrial cut-outs, making every chair subtly unique and revealing traces of the material's previous life.
Built from leftover reinforcing steel and perforated sheet metal offcuts, the Scrap Chair demonstrates how industrial by-products can be elevated into durable, contemporary furniture. Its lightweight structure, stackable design and weather-resistant finish make it equally suited to living spaces, hospitality projects, retail environments and public settings.
Available in a range of colours, each chair can be coated in a RAL colour of choice, allowing it to adapt to a wide variety of contexts while maintaining its distinctive character.

The Upcycling Process
Collecting reinforcing steel offcuts and perforated sheet metal leftovers from industrial production processes
Cutting rebars to length and bending them into the chair's characteristic structure
Cutting perforated steel strips to size
Welding all components together in a dedicated welding jig
Metallising and powder coating the chair for long-term weather resistance
Adding rubber gliders to protect floors and extend product life
The result is a durable, stackable chair that gives industrial leftovers a second life while remaining adaptable to future contexts, repairs and re-use.
