Influenced by the coming season and of nature, Nina Bruun's lounge chair is inspired by a bird's nest. Her 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" the designer 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, she chose to make a very anonymous upholstered cushion in a dusty chocolate brown which plays beautifully with the pale birch. The chair has 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.
The chair has been chosen by the jury of the annual Sydform competition/exhibition and will be exhibited at the FormDesign Center in Malmø, Sweden. Afterwards the exhibition will continue in Karlskrona, Sweden and in September the chairs will be exhibited in Copenhagen, Denmark.
