London-headquartered esports organisation Fnatic and sustainable good provider ChopValue have teamed up to sell new Fnatic desks – made out of recycled chopsticks.
The Revive gaming desks each contain almost 10,000 chopsticks, promise to be carbon-negative and aim to be ‘the world’s most sustainable gaming desk’ available to the public, to offset the carbon footprint generated by esports.
The limited edition Fnatic x ChopValue desks have a starting RRP of £835 (or $965).
1,000 desks will be available for pre-order on September 27th 2022, with the official launch commencing on Tuesday October 4th.
Each desk featuring a unique marking to assign its place in production. Buyers can also add their own logo and gamer tag to a desk by using ChopValue’s laser engraving service.
The desks come in three sizes – XL, Pro and Essential – with height-adjustable base options available and cable management systems. Gamers can also choose to add the headset stand and wrist rest. Each frame is of a fixed height.
Fnatic and ChopValue’s joint mission is to recycle 10m chopsticks through the Revive desk series and ‘set a new standard in making sustainable, performance-grade gaming furniture’.
The desks are handcrafted and customised through a network of global micro factories. This enables ChopValue to collect resources, manufacture products and deliver to the end customer locally ‘to minimise the collective carbon footprint’.
The news comes after Fnatic teamed up with ChopValue in April around Earth Day:
