M.E. recently featured an inventive chair design called Fold by young Copenhagen-based designer Nina Bruun; and here's another new one from her called 'Nest'.
Influenced by the coming season and of nature, this chair is inspired by a bird's nest.
"My idea was to create a graphical chaos which still felt like a unified whole." says Nina of her new piece.
"The chair's supporting structure consists of a bottom, seat and four stabilizing legs. "To create a "nest feeling" I 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, I have chosen to make a very anonymous upholstered cushion in a dusty chocolate brown which plays beautifully with the pale birch. It was natural for me that the chair had a soft center to create references to the bird's nest - typically lined with down - to form a confident frame for eggs and chicks."
Also, if you're interested in seeing both of Nina's chair designs in person; she's just been selected to exhibit 'Fold' and 'Nest' at the annual Sydform exhibition...
