About Nina & Beni Stol
Nina & Beni je stol iz masivnega lesa, ki ga navdihujejo oblike lesenih ladijskih konstrukcij. Dva parno upognjena trakova konzolno segata nad sedežem in služita najprej kot noge, nato kot naslonjala za roke, na koncu pa se oblikujeta ob ledvenem predelu. Stol je izdelan iz jesenovine, češnjevine, hrastovine ali orehovine iz trajnostno upravljanih gozdov, površinsko pa je obdelan z naravnimi olji in voski. Kalupi, izrezani na petosnem stroju, vodijo parno upogibanje in laminiranje lesenih trakov. Sedež je odstranljiv in zamenljiv. Metoda oblikovanja omejuje odpadni material.

- 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. - Image Credits
