Herit Chair | Normann Copenhagen
Simon Legald used oak and plastic when creating this chair for Normann Copenhagen, which seeks to combine mid-century and contemporary Danish design in its form.
Launching during this month's Milan design week, the Herit chair – short for heritage – features a solid oak frame, an enveloping plastic backrest, and a sculpted plastic or upholstered seat.
Its curved form, which recalls the sweeping shape of mid-century Danish armchairs, is designed to follow the shape of the body while its plastic backrest and seat make it "hard-wearing, maintenance-friendly and accessible".According to its designer, longtime Normann Copenhagen collaborator Simon Legald, the intention was to create a versatile and strong chair inspired by his love of classic Danish furniture.
No. 1 Chair | Nendo
Japanese studio Nendo used "puzzle-like" joinery when designing this all-wooden chair for Fritz Hansen, which will launch at this year's Milan design week.
Named No.1, the chair is the first totally wooden design to be produced by the Danish brand since Arne Jacobsen created his Grand Prix model in 1957.
The structural elements of Nendo's design are made from solid wood, while others – namely the shell – are crafted from nine thin layers of veneer, formed using Fritz Hansen's plywood moulding technique.
Harbour Chair | Norm Architects
Danish brand Menu has enlisted Norm Architects to design versatile chair for its multi-use co-working space in Copenhagen.
Launched at IMM Cologne earlier this week, the Harbour chair features an enveloping polypropylene and fibreglass shell seat.
Its armrests and a backrest are designed to bend subtly outwards to provide comfort and support.
Described by the brand as striking "a perfect balance between geometry and organic shapes", the Harbour chair was originally designed for Menu's new creative co-working space in the Nordhavn (Northern Harbour) area of Copenhagen.
