The Bat Dining Chair is created with a Scandinavian approach to crafts, simplicity and functionalism by Danish-Italian design-duo GamFratesi. The embracing shell with armrests equally embodies both aesthetics and comfort while carrying strong references to the interesting and distinctive shape of a bat’s wingspan. The wide range of shell colours provides for a personalised expression that makes the Bat Dining Chair fit perfectly into a variety of public and private contexts.

Effortless and timeless, Nicholai Wiig Hansen’s My Chair from 2013 is just about as close as you get to a new classic: a minimal chair in molded veneer, that moves gently with your body. The rounded corners and curved waist counterbalance the stringent design of the chair and give it a warm and welcoming feel. My Chair is the result of designer Nicholai Wiig Hansen’s vision of the perfectly balanced chair:"My aim was to design a chair with unequaled harmony and to try and come close to the indefinable quality that, in my opinion, lifts a design to another level. My Chair is a mixture of something familiar and something new, something neutral yet characterful, something present but not dominating, something simple as well as complex and something rigorous as well as curved. In other words, My Chair is a shell chair the way I think it should be." - Nicholai Wiig Hansen With its minimalistic silhouette, My Chair is ideal for spaces that need a large number of seats, as the design can be multiplied without taking over the interior. Its stackable design gives flexibility, while the lounge chairs and barstool expand the opportunities to create coherent furnishings with the My Chair series.

Introducing Rely, a contemporary chair whose sleek shell is crafted from 100% recycled plastic. Designer Hee Welling dedicated nearly a year to researching the right materials for his latest piece. The result is Rely, an environmentally-friendly chair whose modern shell is crafted entirely from recycled plastic. The inventive recycling process – which Welling continues to fine-tune – sees the chair’s black shells crafted from the black plastic panels found in a car’s interior. Because the coloured shells require clear materials that will act as blank canvas, Welling has pioneered a different approach for them, sourcing post industrial waste. After being crushed into small pieces they are mixed with colour and readied for injection moulding. "When it comes to the environment, we want to do the best job possible with the best materials available," explains Welling of his decision to prioritize sustainability. This ethos has extended to all aspects of the chair’s design including its construction; should it require a repair, Welling has deliberately made it simple to dismantle so that its lifespan is extended. Renowned for his signature minimalism, Welling’s latest piece continues his legacy of melding simplicity with practicality. Rely’s understated appearance belies the thorough consideration that has been given to its ergonomic design, with each of its curves developed to provide optimal back support. "When creating a design with a simple visual expression, the details become extremely important because there’s so much focus on them," says Welling. "Yet the amazing thing is that when everything – comfort, construction, function, choice of materials, production method, environment and ergonomics – is balanced together, such details slot seamlessly into place."

The front upholstered Beetle Dining Chair holds the same softcore as the fully upholstered version, giving it an outstanding comfort while the contrasting outer in polypropylene plastic functions as a protective shell.

Due to its unique design, the front upholstery can also be changed with time to give the chair a different expression and new life to the interior decoration. GamFratesi has reinterpreted the characteristic elements of the beetles' sections when designing the Beetle Dining Chair: shape, shells, sutures, rigid outside and soft inside. The comfortable yet dynamic design makes the chair suitable for multiple environments whether it is in the home or the workplace.

One of the last living mid-century Scandinavian design pioneers and a female pioneer in the field of architecture in her time, Bodil Kjaer, conceived her Principal series in 1961 as part of an architectural exploration of interior solutions for modern living, called Elements of Architecture. Comprising a dining table and an upholstered dining chair, the Principal series epitomises Kjaer’s forward-thinking cosmopolitan outlook and modernistic design language that slips fluidly into contemporary interior. The solid wood dining table boasts a clarified form, repeating a simple angle throughout table legs and ends of the table top, while the dining chair with its circular seat and gently rounded backrest, beautifully upholstered, adds a softness to the clear, unfussed geometry, an invitation to linger.

A true classic made in Denmark since 1936 – where it still to this day is produced by our local joinery.The seat is shaped out of one large solid piece of wood and because of the variations in the woodgrain, every Shoemaker Chair is completely unique.Together, the turned legs and the stabilizing T connection create a harmonic and aesthetic piece of furniture with strong references to the Nordic design universe. The construction may look rather simple, but it is technically difficult to master. The solid piece of wood has to be carved very accurately to ensure the highest comfort. At the end of the process every model is finished by hand before going into a three-step process of staining or oiling surface treatments. "We have tirelessly optimized the chair since the early stages, adjusting minor aspects year after year – both in the production flow and in the finished product. Among other things, the T legs were added for extra stability and the seat was re-shaped and rounded so that if the chair falls the rounded profile would protect the topline from breaking."- Lars Werner, 2nd generation of the Werner Family
