Inspired by a simple crease of paper on the designer’s work table, the elegant chair boasts a smooth, curvaceous shell that creates a highly supportive, comforting seat.
A sustainable design, N02-10 is made from household plastic waste that has been collected, processed and upcycled in central Europe, with the chair able to be recycled again if necessary. With a strong, stackable structure, the simple, all-purpose design allows for the piece to coordinate with a wide range of contemporary interior settings, whether used in a group as a dining chair or individually paired with a desk or dresser.
Behind the Nendo trademark is Oki Sato, the Japanese designer born in Canada in 1977. Sato graduated in 2000 from Tokyo’s Waseda University and went on to specialise in Architecture (2002). While still a student, in 2002, he won the Gold Medal at the Koizumi International Lighting Design show, in addition to many other awards.
Oki Sato founded Nendo Design Studio in 2002 and has since gone on to produce contemporary designs for Cappellini, Fritz Hansen, Wastberg and Louis Poulsen.
