This rereleased iconic Danish chair is built using recycled plastic and coffee bean shells

Posted on by

We often underestimate the importance of a great chair! When in reality we really shouldn’t. We spend the majority of our day sitting on chairs, whether we’re working in our home office, enjoying a meal, or simply sitting and reading a book for leisure! Hence, this piece of furniture needs to be not only comfortable but ergonomic, and aesthetic as well, and if it manages to be sustainable as well, then it really hits the spot! And one such chair design that I recently came across is the Conscious Chair by Mater Design.

Designer: Mater Design

Copenhagen-based furniture brand Mater Design recently re-rereleased a popular chair from the 1950s called the Conscious Chair. Now, why is the Conscious Chair called so? The Conscious Chair is called the Conscious Chair because it is crafted using recycled plastic, combined with coffee bean shells and sawdust. The chair was originally designed by Danish furniture designers and architects Børge Mogensen and Esben Klint in 1958. The chair is characterized by a simple silhouette and a curved wooden seat.

Matek Design took this classic chair and modernized it by crafting the back and seat from Matek – a material made by Mater Design using post-consumer or post-industrial waste. “Coffee bean shells, extracted during the roasting process, are an example of fiber material – sawdust from wood production is another,” said Mater Design. “The binder material is made from plastic waste or a plastic-based alternative. ”

“[Matek] enables us to make furniture from waste materials by combining fiber with a binder,” said the company. “The technology behind Matek allows us to capture carbon in our furniture by recycling waste into timeless classics using resources already available to us, instead of virgin materials.” This helps to create chairs that have been made using both wooden and recycled composite material elements. The Conscious Chair is available with oak-wood frames in color options of green, black-stained, or natural finishes. The seat and back come in options of wood waste grey, coffee waste light, and black. So, you can pick the color theme that suits your personal taste and preference, as well as the interiors of your home.

This ergonomic net positive office chair is the first task chair made from recycled fishing nets

Posted on by

Since the transition from home offices to actual corporate offices has begun, it’s important to ensure that employees feel comfortable, safe, and motivated in their workplace. And adding the right furniture designs can greatly contribute to creating an office that is conducive to motivation and productivity. And if the design manages to be sustainable and ergonomic, well, you’ve hit all the checkboxes. And the Liberty Ocean chair by Humanscale aspires to be one such product!

Designer: Humanscale

Designed by the office furniture brand Humanscale, the Liberty Ocean chair, was as its name signifies, created using almost one kilogram of abandoned fishing nets found in the ocean! The Liberty Ocean chair range claims to be “first task chairs made from recycled fishing nets”, and is a brave and commendable effort on the part of Humanscale to tackle the evergrowing issue of ocean plastic. The chair is a successor of the brand’s original Liberty chair, which was also quite ergonomic and minimal. It was created with the late industrial designer Niels Diffrient and is still on sale in a wide range of colors and finishes.

Much like the Liberty range, the Liberty Ocean range also features Humanscale’s form-sensing mesh back. The intriguing back automatically adjusts and merges with the form and contours of the user’s body, in turn functioning as a rather comfortable and ergonomic seat. This is supported by a pivoting backrest, contoured seats, and a self-adjusting recliner. All these handy features come together to produce a chair with a “customized fit”.

“Liberty Ocean marries the timeless design of our classic Liberty chair while using recycled fishing nets that continuously degrade our oceans and marine life,” said Humanscale’s chief sustainability officer Jane Abernethy “At Humanscale, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries on how plastics and other materials can be reimagined into beautiful ergonomic furniture that not only serve our consumers but our world at large.”  The Liberty Ocean chair is net positive – which basically means it is climate, water, and energy positive as well. In fact, over 60% of Humanscale’s products are net positive. The Liberty Ocean chair also comes with a 15-year warranty – serving you well until you retire!

Porsche Design lounge chair is a geeky napping pod for workaholics

Posted on by

Porsche Design’s timeless elegance and functional design reflects in the fair share of furniture pieces the creative house has released so far. Adding to the growing list of furniture designs in Ferdinand Alexander Porsche’s brand collection for home and office.

Taking the elegance of the brand name into the smart furniture design territory for public spaces, or for that matter, Porsche’s own lounge space is this relaxing sofa pod that can be oriented in any set of configurations.

Designer: PDF Haus and Suhyeon Kwak

The design team has penned this lifestyle office furniture for Porsche Design’s resting area to create a balance between work and rest. The design of the pod completely secludes the user from the rest of the world, and doesn’t miss out on the geeky aspect. This ergonomically comfortable chair supports the user’s lower back and shoulders depending on the body shape for complete relaxation during breaks. It also comes with a recliner function for the odd nap to recharge the body’s battery.

There’s space on one side of the chair to keep books, tablet or snacks. A wireless charging island gives you complete freedom to stay put in place in the pod if you get anxious when the mobile device battery starts to dip. On the outside of the lounge chair, the ambient light changes color depending on the active status of the user. Each of these lounge chairs can be used individually or arranged in any configuration as desired.

Contrasting monochrome color variations of the lounge chair in light and dark grey will go well with any amenity space. Of course, it keeps up with Porsche Design’s signature monochrome hues, matched with the clean lines. The leather upholstery is elegantly done to keep up with the Porsche Design DNA, and maintain the definitive element of automotive sportiness too.

Top 10 chair designs that focus on ergonomics, functionality + aesthetics

Posted on by

We often underestimate the importance of a great chair. When in reality we really shouldn’t. We spend the majority of our day sitting on chairs, whether we’re working in our home office, enjoying a meal, or simply sitting and reading a book for leisure! Hence, this piece of furniture needs to be not only comfortable but ergonomic, and aesthetic as well. And we’ve curated a collection of chair designs that meet all these criteria! From an adorable pet-friendly armchair to a leather-covered chair that folds flat like a folder – these innovative chair designs are not only a boon to your back, and help you maintain a healthy posture, but are also super comfy to sink into, and will perfectly match the interiors of your modern homes.

1. 3D-Printed Seats

Designed by Johannes Steinbauer Office For Design, these 3D-printed chairs are produced using additive manufacturing and are created without using fabrics, springs, and foam! And they still manage to be super functional and comfortable. These chairs utilize rigid parts, instead of the typical racks from chairs.

Why is it noteworthy?

The design is simple enough with four legs, a round seat, and a single bar at the back. But if you want to add other components like more racks or even textiles, these can also be added through 3D printing. The different parts are easy to assemble and disassemble and once it reaches the end of life, you can dispose of the different parts separately and recycle them accordingly.

What we like

  • Super easy to assemble and disassemble
  • Sustainable design

What we dislike

  • No instruction on having a space-saving version of this design

2. Sharing Joy

Rather aptly titled ‘Sharing Joy’, this award-winning chair comes with a side table for humans to place their books and cups of tea/coffee on, and a crawl space for cats to casually lounge in (complete with a suspended toy for them to play with).

Why is it noteworthy?

What I personally love about Sharing Joy is that it subscribes to a broader vision of what lounging is and who can ‘lounge’. Designed for humans and cats to cozy up in, the chair comes with a hollow, oblong backrest that’s perfectly sized for an adult cat (or a tiny dog) to crawl into and laze around in. Moreover, the idea of having the human and pet lounging together against each other sounds like absolute perfection. 10/10 will give you the happiness hormones.

What we like

  • The chair sports a minimalist aesthetic that fits in most contemporary homes

What we dislike

  • The little space reserved for your pet doesn’t look too comfy

3. The Folio Chair

This foldable chair clearly has a utilitarian construction, but it still manages to throw in a few design elements that give it the same stylish characteristic as leather-covered furniture and stationery.

Why is it noteworthy?

The Folio Chair takes a different approach to the folding puzzle, requiring no hinges or screws to implement the mechanism. Instead, it seems to take inspiration from papercraft and art such as origami, where simply pushing or pulling a single part can change the object’s shape. In this case, pulling the top of the chair upward causes the folds of the seat and the back legs to straighten up and lie flat on the middle layer that serves as the supporting structure of the chair.

What we like

  • Reminiscent of a folder
  • Has a distinct charm with its leather surfaces and stitch marking at the edges

What we dislike

  • It’s still a concept!

4. The Hunter Chair

Classic furniture designs are classics for a reason, they’ve withstood the test of time, cementing their value and functionality as pieces that will never truly go out of style. One such design is the Hunter Chair by Torbjørn Afdal. Designed in 1960, the Hunter Chair is Afdal’s version of the “hunting chair”, a kind of seating that was quite popular during those times. And Eikund has brought the Hunter Chair to life once again!

Why is it noteworthy?

The Norwegian furniture brand decided to recreate and relaunch the Hunter Chair, an excellent specimen of classic Norwegian furniture. The Hunter Chair is considered a modern-day classic.

What we like

  • Features solid cast brass buckles, organically tanned leather, precise edge stitching details, and perfectly smooth transitions of wood

What we dislike

  • People may prefer the original to the newer version

5. The Peacock Chair

The Peacock Chair tries to solve some of the issues that may arise like “privacy, distractions, noise, and the ability to maintain a work/life balance”, according to the designers.

Why is it noteworthy?

From the name itself, this chair has a peacock-like shroud that will give a signal to the people around you and also give you a sense of privacy and temporarily put away the noise around you. When the shroud is in a downward position, this means you’re in a more casual situation, letting people know they can talk to you and you can talk to them. In this position, the shroud doesn’t really have any other purpose except to be sort of decorative. When the peacock’s “feathers” are up, obviously the one sitting on the chair wants to be left alone to focus and work or read or have some sense of peace.

What we like

  • Dampens the noise around you
  • Gives you a sense of privacy

What we dislike

  • There are similar products on the market

6. The Coffin Office Chair

Are you someone who absolutely despises your dead-end corporate job, well then, we may have found the chair for you! Shaped like a coffin, this wooden chair recently took the internet by storm. A Twitter user shared it on September 7th, and everyone who’s downright fed up with their jobs completely resonated with it.

Why is it noteworthy?

The conceptual coffin chair perfectly represents all the dreaded emotions employees feel throughout the entirety of their workday. It reflects the feeling of doom one experiences, as they have to sit through another pointless meeting that could have been an email.

What we like

  • Inspired by Rene Magritte’s painting titled The Balcony (1950)
  • Perfectly captures the feeling of having a dead-end job

What we dislike

  • It’s a concept!
  • There’s no cozy cushioning to get comfy in

7. The Mantis Chair

Chairs, just like tables, are supposed to convey a sense of stability and confidence that they won’t topple over or come crashing down when you sit on them. That’s why in most cases, the legs of chairs are designed to be wide, sturdy, and whole, with feet that are almost always flat. This dining chair design throws all those conventions outside the window and almost evokes the opposite emotions. At the same time, it also appears to challenge the viewer to have a little bit more confidence in going beyond what the eyes see.

Why is it noteworthy?

The dining chair is called “Mantis,” most likely because of how its segmented legs and arms resemble those of the insect. One variant even shares the same green and yellow motif. Perhaps another association between the chair and the insect is how the piece of furniture leans back rather than standing straight, almost like how a mantis’ body is in a perpetual state of leaning forward.

What we like

  • The mirror-polished brass contrasts nicely with the green chair and gives it a bit more personality
  • Color-matching leather offers some physical comfort to what looks like an uneasy chair

What we dislike

  • The legs end in soft spheres rather than sharp feet, though it might make one worry that the chair will slide all over the place

8. The TWINS-MDF

The TWINS-MDF is a modern twist on the first TWINS chair set by the designer launched 18 years ago. The original was a pair of metal and wooden chairs that fit into each other like a glove.

Why is it noteworthy?

This new version uses Medium Density Fiberboard instead (hence “MDF”) and expands the family into a set of four chairs. Technically, only two are really usable by humans, but the other two chairs are perfect for a kid’s imaginary tea party for plushies.

What we like

  • This kind of design is critical in helping reduce not just material waste but also the overall energy footprint during production
  • The chairs look distinctive, with an almost playful flair to an industrial motif

What we dislike

  • The chairs are more decorative than functional

9. The Nodding Chair

As someone who loves to read, and read for long periods of time, I know that wooden chairs are the least comfortable ones to sit on while finishing a good book. And I’ve also tried to read while on a regular rocking chair and that made me dizzy since the constant big movements are a bit too much for my poor eyes. But staying put in a chair can still be uncomfortable and you need some type of motion while you’re reading. This product concept seems to be the perfect one for bookworms like me.

Why is it noteworthy?

While rocking chairs are good for relaxation, they’re not always good for floors and if you’re like me, for our eyes and peace of mind. The designer thought of a new way to have a chair that can be comfortable and still let your body have its range of natural motion while reading, resting, or even writing (if you’re used to that). The Nodding Chair can be tilted forward and backward, letting you make smaller movements that won’t make you too nauseous.

What we like

  • Creates less pressure on the floor so you won’t get marks and scratches
  • Allows the chair to move with you as you occasionally change positions while reading

What we dislike

  • The seat itself doesn’t seem to be that comfortable as it’s just plain wood and there’s no cushion

10. The Collapsible Wood Chair

Quite unlike any of the folding chairs you may have seen around you, on the internet, or even on this website, this creative little number comes from Jon 117 SP, a designer based out of Léon, Mexico.

Why is it noteworthy?

Simply titled the Collapsible Wood Chair, the seating uses two almost-identical wooden profiles with a thick paracord weaving between the both of them to form the seat and backrest. The paracord does two essential things – not only does it make sitting feel comfortable (unlike wood or metal which feels rigid), but it also adds a flexible element to the seat where it folds together, allowing the chair to collapse flat when you’re not sitting on it.

What we like

  • A unique take on a collapsible chair

What we dislike

  • We’re not sure how comfortable it would be to sit on the paracord

This leather-covered chair folds flat like a folder for easy storage

Posted on by

Most people dream of owning eye-catching furniture, but not everyone has room for fancy yet large tables or distinctive but voluminous seats. Space becomes even more of a problem if you find yourself hosting guests once in a while, but not often enough to warrant purchasing permanent chairs in your already cramped living quarters. Foldable tables and chairs have become solutions to this dynamic space problem, but most of these sacrifice aesthetics in exchange for flexibility. Of course, there are some exceptions, especially within the realm of speculative or concept design, where form and function are both treated with equal dignity. This foldable chair, for example, clearly has a utilitarian construction, but it still manages to throw in a few design elements that give it the same stylish characteristic as leather-covered furniture and stationery.

Designer: Jeongwoo SEO

Traditional foldable chair designs come in wooden or metallic forms, with hinges and pivots that allow parts of the choir, usually the seat, to fold up or down to create a more compact shape. Although it’s a practical and simple design, it’s definitely not the only way to fold a chair. Given certain factors, it might not even be the best solution.

The Folio Chair takes a different approach to the folding puzzle, requiring no hinges or screws to implement the mechanism. Instead, it seems to take inspiration from papercraft and art such as origami, where simply pushing or pulling a single part can change the object’s shape. In this case, pulling the top of the chair upward causes the folds of the seat and the back legs to straighten up and lie flat on the middle layer that serves as the supporting structure of the chair.

The end result is a very flat but long piece that is almost reminiscent of a folder, which is probably where its name comes from. In addition to being easy to carry around, whether by the handle or under your arm, it also makes the Folio Chair easy to store away. You even have a stack of them either lying down or standing up in a closet, depending on how much space you have.

The Folio Chair also has a distinct charm with its leather surfaces and stitch marking at the edges. This calls to mind not only the leather upholstery used on more luxurious furniture but also the leather bindings on some notebooks and organizers. To some extent, it’s a design that wouldn’t look out of place in an office, even though it’s clearly meant for more casual settings.

Despite its unique proposition, the Folio Chair might still raise some concerns regarding its practicality and safety. While it might be flatter than most folding chairs, it is also a lot taller when collapsed, taking up more vertical space instead. Depending on the materials used, it might also seem a little bit unstable, simply relying on physics and folding patterns to make sure the chair doesn’t collapse under a person’s weight.

This highly detailed minimal chair is the re-released version of a 1960’s Norwegian design classic

Posted on by

Furniture design is always undergoing innovation and development, and as fascinating as it is to experience the latest creations, sometimes it’s equally or even more enjoyable to take a trip down memory lane. Classic furniture designs are classics for a reason, they’ve withstood the test of time, cementing their value and functionality as pieces that will never truly go out of style. One such design is the Hunter Chair by Torbjørn Afdal. Designed in 1960, the Hunter Chair is Afdal’s version of the “hunting chair”, a kind of seating that was quite popular during those times. And Eikund has brought the Hunter Chair to life once again!

Designer: Eikund

The Norwegian furniture brand decided to recreate and relaunch the Hunter Chair, an excellent specimen of classic Norwegian furniture. The Hunter Chair is considered a modern-day classic. Built from solid wood and saddle leather, the Hunter Chair basically comprises of a sturdy leather seat pulled and held tightly by buckles. The chair features solid cast brass buckles, organically tanned leather, precise edge stitching details, and perfectly smooth transitions of wood.

Afdal’s Hunter Chair is quite minimal, featuring a rather raw and organic form, with a fluid and free-flowing quality to it. Eikund retained the essence of the Hunter Chair and the characteristic that make it so unique and beloved. The brand only minimally updated the chair, by using the latest innovative materials and processes available today, which served to enhance and add on to the chair’s durability, elegance, and timelessness. Eikund’s aim was to remain true to the original Hunter Chair and to only make changes that are necessary and essential.

Eikund says that ‘Simplexity’ is the perfect word to describe the Hunter Chair’s composition. This is quite evidently seen in the combination of the double-layered leather, matching edge stitching, and brass buckles. The chair is available in a variety of hardwoods such as – light-soaped oak, dark oiled walnut, and black lacquered oak. The leather saddle is available in different colors as well, including – natural, black, and cognac colors. The Hunter Chair is the perfect culmination of defined details, fine craftsmanship, minimal aesthetics, and a sturdy dependable form!

This simplistic wooden chair imagines a future Google that has gone back to nature

Posted on by

It’s not uncommon for design trends to swing back and forth like a pendulum, making what was once old new again or seeing old practices in a new light. That kind of back and forth seemingly applies to almost all facets of life and history that it became even part of major philosophies. All that it means is that what may be the prevalent style or mindset now could take a U-turn after a few decades, and all our obsession with advanced technologies could lead to a counter-movement that will bring us back to nature and the basics. The tech companies today won’t be the same decades from now, and some of them might even adopt a style that might even be perceived as devoid of tech completely, like this wooden chair that might be Google’s signature furniture 24 years from now.

Designer: Povilas Grigas

When it comes to tech companies, Google is definitely one of the big three, along with Microsoft and Apple. With its hands in so many different technological fields, you could almost say that it is the most popular icon of technology. The company has undergone so many changes since its birth, not least of which is splitting into different companies under Alphabet, but its biggest change is probably yet to come. Just as humans are wont to return to simpler and more natural things, so too Google’s design language might swing that way a few decades from now.

1

One speculative design project envisions what Google’s design language would be like by 2046 or so, based on the principle above as well as Google’s current design philosophy. Google has always had a penchant for minimalism, though the exact application of that design philosophy changes over time. And what could be more minimalist than pieces of furniture that are not only natural but are also inspired by nature’s more basic designs. The Seed Chair, for example, looks like nothing more than a few short logs joined together to form a seat, representing the most basic interaction between nature and man.

Admittedly, the Seed Chair doesn’t look like the most comfortable seat around, though it does embrace Google’s spartan aesthetics and preference for geometric shapes. At the same time, however, it is almost the complete opposite of Google’s spirit. The chair is large, heavy, and has plenty of friction, while Google’s culture is always associated with agility and fast-paced change, almost to a fault.

Of course, it is unlikely that Google will adopt this nature-centric design wholesale, at least not in the foreseeable future. It is, however, more likely to dip its toes into this area of product design, researching and experimenting with ways technology can make such designs possible, especially with a nod towards sustainability and the use of natural materials. That might be more in line with Google’s character and mindset, one that tries to inject technology everywhere, especially in places where data can be harvested, utilized, and maybe even turned into a profit.

This voluptuous seat collection creates an oasis of comfort in your home

Posted on by

These are very trying times for many people across the world. From health concerns to economic woes to even dreadful wars, people are always looking for ways to relieve their stress. Some might be able to find relief in traveling or camping, though most will probably attempt to use scents and sounds to calm their nerves. The simplest solution, however, is to have comfortable furniture that evokes a sense of calm and peace, especially in its form. Flock is exactly that kind of furniture that’s designed to create a cozy and comfortable space right inside your home just by looking at it, inviting people to come together and take comfort in each other’s presence.

Designer: Kateryna Sokolova for NOOM

Chairs, by nature, are designed to be comfortable enough to sit on for hours on end, though there are definitely some designs that challenge that assumption. But just because they are suitable for sitting doesn’t mean they are immediately appealing to the eyes. In fact, some of the common chair designs look cold and clinical, prioritizing function but almost neglecting form. Conversely, there are some chairs that look extremely cozy but go the opposite extreme and provide almost no proper support for your body.

Flock is a furniture collection that blends form and function in an aesthetically pleasing way that sends a clear message across to anyone who sees it. Looking almost like balls of cotton, the chair and ottoman bear forms that can easily be described as sensual and textures that are a delight to touch. The design also conjures up images of cocoons or wrapping one’s self with a blanket, both of which evoke feelings of warmth and comfort.

The collection, however, isn’t just envisioned to bring comfort to a single person. Its very name suggests a gathering or coming together, often of like-minded or familiar people like family and friends. These seats are intended to be the centerpieces in a home, particularly in spaces where people gather, to offer a sanctuary that brings pleasure not just to your body but also to your senses.

It is both ironic and fitting that Flock was made against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, one of the biggest sources of stress and despair for many people since the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection was made from materials that had to be acquired through new sources and quickly manufactured in new locations to adjust to the effects of war in that country. The end result is a beautiful furniture collection that almost becomes a symbol of peace and calm that stands defiant in the face of war and stress, bringing people in your home together to relax, kick back, and celebrate life.

This ready-to-assemble chair brings a distinctive look to your dining room

Posted on by

Furniture that can be assembled at home has seen a rise in adoption over the past years, in no small thanks to the popularity of minimalist designs from the likes of IKEA. The idea is to allow these products to be shipped more efficiently while offloading the task of assembling the final piece to the owner. While it might be cheaper in terms of shipping and space, there are hidden costs to this system, such as the effort required to put everything together as well as limitations in design because of space requirements when being packaged and transported. These factors might actually be deal-breakers for some homeowners, which is why this wooden dining chair concept is particularly interesting in how it solves almost all those problems by being trivial to assemble while also looking quite unique and appealing.

Designer: Gabriel Emilio Portela

Ready-to-assemble or RTA furniture often comes as flat-packed products these days. They take up less space in storage or in transit and are often minimalist by nature to be easy to assemble. Despite that fact, it’s not always easy to actually assemble these pieces of furniture, with many of them requiring the use of at least a screwdriver or an Allen wrench, which are thankfully included in the box at times. Depending on the complexity of the design, that work can take anywhere from 30 minutes to hours.

The Yugan Chair, in contrast, can be assembled in just five minutes without using anything other than your two hands. The wooden chair’s design only requires fitting pieces together into holes, not unlike those wooden puzzles that form animals or popular landmarks. It uses a combination of architecture and physics to keep the chair together and support the person’s weight when sitting on it.

Of course, that isn’t the only admirable quality of this concept design. Specifically designed for small living spaces, the dining chair has a distinctive form you wouldn’t normally associate with this kind of furniture. There is almost no straight edge or surface in sight, with each part sporting soft curves that are eye-catching and pleasant. Admittedly, that does mean that this chair can’t be flat-packed, but its components will still take up less room than a fully assembled chair.

Although toolless assembly isn’t exactly new, the Yugan chair still manages to capture the imagination thanks to its curvy character. Even better, the design is finished yet. It is intended to go beyond being a dining chair and also function as a bench just by mixing parts. So while it will take up a bit more space in packaging and shipping, you are really hitting two birds in one with a multi-functional chair that won’t make you sweat too much just to put it together.

This solid wood stackable chair is ideal for public + private spaces

Posted on by

We often underestimate the importance of a great chair. When in reality we really shouldn’t. We spend the majority of our day sitting on chairs, whether we’re working in our home office, enjoying a meal, or simply sitting and reading a book for leisure! Hence, this piece of furniture needs to be not only comfortable but ergonomic, and aesthetic as well. And one such intriguing chair design I recently came across is the Naku Stack Chair.

Designer: Harri Korhonen for Inno

Finnish brand Inno’s founder Harri Korhonen designed a minimal and clean chair called Naku. The beauty of Naku is that it’s a stackable chair! Built from solid wood, Naku features a simple and sophisticated design which is further enhanced by its long legs that connect to form a dynamic A-shaped frame, which allows multiple chairs to be stacked on top of each other. This little Naku tower has a pretty compact structure, enabling it to be stored quite easily and efficiently.

Created with fine wood craftsmanship, Naku boasts a timeless and elegant aesthetic that cements a long life cycle and provides it with the ability to always match contemporary tastes. The Naku chair comes in an option of – birch, ash, or oak wood. You can also choose to opt for a fabric-upholstered seat or a leather front surface. The wood has been equipped with a UV-protected, non-yellowing, water-based varnish as a finish.

The Naku chair is complemented by other products in the Naku family such as a stool, a bookshelf unit, and dining and coffee tables. You can add other designs, and mix and match, to create a cohesive and harmonious living space. These premium quality products have been designed specifically to be placed in public spaces such as meeting rooms, dining rooms, restaurants, living rooms, and other cozy and comfy spots.
