Nina Bruun is a copenhagen based designer. She works in the fields of furniture, spatial and graphic design. Besides that, her main interest is photography. Her main focus is furniture design – good handcraft and graphical expression is a must in her projects.
Influenced by the coming season and of nature, this lounge chair is inspired by a bird’s nest. Idea was to create a graphical chaos which still felt like a unified whole.
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, that are typically lined with down, to form a confident frame for eggs and chicks.
Nest has been chosen by the jury of the annual SYDFORM competition/exhibition and will be exhibited at the FormDesign Center in Malmø, Sweden. Afterwards the exhibition will continue in Karlskrona, Sweden and in September the chairs will be exhibited in Copenhagen, Denmark.
