The visible crease presented in the backrest of the N02-10 chair was inspired by a simple fold of paper found in the Nendo design studio. A feature that provides the user with cradling comfort and unrivalled support the curvaceous shell uses household plastic waste, collected, processed and upcycled in central Europe. Possible to recycle again if necessary, N02-10 is as environmentally friendly as it is stylish, earning the prestigious EU-Ecolabel. Strong, stackable and simple, the all-purpose design allows for the piece to coordinate with a wide range of contemporary interior settings, whether used solely or in a group. Part of the Fritz Hansen N02 Recycle collection.
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 product contemporary designs for Cappellini, Foscarini, Wastberg and Louis Poulsen.
