The Design

About Palm Collection Крісло для відпочинку

Колекція Palm — це проєкт сидінь, розроблений у співпраці з данським дизайнером Фінном Естергаардом. Складаючись із моделей Palm Swing та Palm Nest, дизайн досліджує комфорт через спокійні, скульптурні форми. Порошково-фарбований алюмінієвий каркас у поєднанні з плетеною вручну мотузкою та м’якими подушками створює баланс між структурою й гнучкістю. Розроблена як для внутрішнього, так і для зовнішнього використання, колекція адаптується до житлових і готельно-ресторанних просторів, пропонуючи продуманий підхід до матеріалу, форми та повсякденного використання.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The Palm Collection is a seating project consisting of two related designs: the Palm Nest and the Palm Swing. Developed as a cohesive family, both pieces share the same visual language while offering different ways of resting and inhabiting space. The Palm Nest is designed to sit directly on flat ground, creating a grounded and protective seating experience, while the Palm Swing is suspended from a dedicated stand, introducing a gentle sense of movement and lightness.

The collection was created in collaboration with Danish designer Finn Oestergaard, whose work is recognized for its refined Scandinavian sensibility and human-centered approach. The project explores the balance between structure and softness, combining a clearly defined aluminum frame with handwoven rope surfaces and generous cushions. This contrast allows the pieces to appear visually light while remaining structurally strong and comfortable.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, the Palm Collection adapts naturally to a wide range of residential and hospitality settings. Its calm, sculptural presence encourages moments of pause, making it suitable for lounges, terraces, gardens, and transitional spaces where comfort and atmosphere are equally important.
Dimensions & Packaging: Palm Collection consists of two seating pieces. Palm Swing: W1220 D1030 H1470 mm. Palm Nest: W1320 D1610 H1110 mm. Both designs feature a powder-coated aluminum frame combined with handwoven rope seating surfaces. Cushions are made with quick-dry foam and outdoor grade fabric. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Production Technology: The Palm Collection is realized through a combination of industrial production and handcraft techniques. The main structure is made from powder-coated aluminum, selected for its strength, durability, and resistance to outdoor conditions. The seating surfaces are handwoven using synthetic rope by skilled artisans, allowing flexibility while maintaining structural integrity. Cushions are produced using quick-dry foam and covered with outdoor-grade fabric to ensure performance in varying climates. The production process focuses on precision in the frame construction and consistency in handweaving to achieve both visual clarity and long-term use.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was translating a soft, organic concept into a structurally sound design suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Balancing visual lightness with durability required careful development of the aluminum frame and woven surfaces.
Research: The design development of the Palm Collection involved exploration of organic forms and their translation into functional seating. Research focused on the relationship between structure and softness, particularly how woven materials can provide both support and comfort. References were drawn from natural arrangements, such as the radial composition of leaves, as well as from Scandinavian design principles emphasizing clarity and usability. Material research included testing aluminum for lightweight strength and rope weaving techniques for flexibility and durability in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Inspiration: The Palm Collection draws inspiration from the form of nine leaves arranged like a bouquet, a natural symbol of balance and openness. This idea evolved into two expressions of comfort: the Palm Nest, resting gently on flat ground, and the Palm Swing, suspended from its sculptural stand. Rooted in Scandinavian clarity and tropical warmth, the collection reflects calmness, connection, and the quiet rhythm of nature.
Project Duration: The Palm Collection was designed over a period of approximately 6–8 months. The design process was developed through collaboration between Denmark and Indonesia, combining conceptual development in Denmark with prototyping and production refinement in Indonesia.
Operation Flow: The Palm Collection offers two complementary ways of resting. The Palm Nest provides a stable, grounded seating experience on flat surfaces, while the Palm Swing is suspended from its stand, creating gentle movement that responds to the user body weight. Both pieces encourage intuitive interaction through supportive cushions and woven surfaces.
