ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECT

Nola swing chair (2025)

Nola is a contemporary seating piece that reimagines traditional bentwood craftsmanship through the lens of human connection. Its smooth rocking motion evokes nostalgic childhood memories while its refined details and minimalist form create a striking presence in any interior. Nola fosters a dynamic relationship between form and function, inviting moments of both playfulness and relaxation. The design was based on classic Thonet components provided by Sellaton Design Furniture Ltd.
