Bow Chair

Fascinated by the bent wood technique, I set out to explore how to create an elegant stackable bent wood chair with as few components as possible; two arches held together by a fitting. After some tests in my workshop, I contacted Gemla and they were thrilled by this idea. Bow Chair is designed for Gemla, the renowned Swedish bentwood factory from the late 1800s, producing furniture of great quality and design. However, we had to create new moulds. The project required some thorough research work and I learned a lot being part of it.

In 2013 Bow Chair was awarded 'Furniture of the year' by Residence Magazine, it meant a great deal to me and Gemla, having invested a lot of time to bring this innovative design into production.
