Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Two steam-bent strips cantilever over the seat to serve first as legs then armrest and finally mold to the lumbar area. The Nina & Beni chair is made from 100% sustainably sourced forests.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimensions: W 560 x H 720 x L 500mm
Weight: 8 kg (unboxed)
Main materials: ash, cherry, oak or walnut
Finish: Natural oils and waxes
Tags: Steam bending, solid wood, sustainable, chair design
Production Technology: To achieve the complex geometry of the Nina & beni chair we use a 5 axis CNC to cut 2 molds which we then use to steam bend the solid wood strips to their form. We then use another set of cnc-cut counter molds to make the 3d lamination.
Design Challenge: The most difficult part was designing and building the 3 dimensional molds needed to build the chair.
Research: Sustainability is my design objective.
I use wood because it is the best short carbon cycle material, the complex shapes are steam-bent so as to create as little waste as possible.
These pieces are made from quality materials and designed to last a lifetime.
Inspiration: Inspired by the efficient yet beautiful forms of wooden naval structures. Boat building achieves aerodynamic forms that take advantage of the trees grain with little waste.
Project Duration: This project started in September 2019, was exhibited at The Stockholm Furniture fair in January then at the London design fair in September
Operation Flow: Solid wood chair meant to last a lifetime
Seat is removable and interchangeable.
