Inspired by a bird's nest
The young designer explains the Nest Chair: Influenced by the coming season and
of nature, this chair is inspired by a bird's nest. "My idea was to create a
graphical chaos which still felt like a unified whole.
The chair's supporting structure
consists of a bottom, seat and four stabilizing legs. To create a "nest
feeling" I played with birch strips in different thicknesses and hurled
them around the supporting structure. In order not to divert attention from the
nest of birch strips, I have chosen to make a very anonymous upholstered
cushion in a dusty chocolate brown which plays beautifully with the pale
birch. It was natural for me that the chair had a soft center to create
references to the bird's nest, that are typically lined with down, to form a
confident frame for eggs and chicks".
Sydform
