Glider Chair Nomad /Beuys-Series

Glider Chair Nomad speaks its own language, as regards both the design and the stories behind it.

Inspired by Origami, the aim was to design a sculptural, comfortable chair using uncompromising folding and bending. The tapered shape created is evocative of a glider’s aerodynamic lightness. “Nomad” refers to the chair’s transitory character, most clearly expressed in the rolled headrest.

Glider Chair Nomad (Beuys-Series) is produced in 9mm wool felt and refers to Joseph Beuys’ plane crash in Crimea during WWII and subsequent rescue by nomads, who healed him by coating him with fat and wrapping him in felt.
