Normann Copenhagen: Form Swivel

Normann Copenhagen’s Form chairs were designed by Danish designer Simon Legald. The designer mentions exploring and analyzing hundreds of chairs in the process of creating the ideal chair.

Hay: About A Chair

Hay’s About A Chair features a seemingly simple design, deceptively hiding a multitude of considered details. The distinct, minimalist About A Chair collection was created by Hee Welling in collaboration with Hay. Their objective was to design a chair that combines comfort, form, and function and that would be a perfect fit anywhere, from offices and working spaces to cafés and libraries. Opt for About A Chair models AAC14 or AAC24 if you prefer an office chair with wheels.

The meticulously designed, comfortable seat complemented with armrests and a swiveling base make the Fiber chair an exceptional fit for the home office but it works just as well in the dining room. Also available upholstered.
