Handcrafted from solid oak and a seat of laminated oak veneer, the NY11 Dining Chair is inspired by traditional Danish elementary school chairs. The chair came to life when designers Rune Krøjgaard and Knut Bendik Humlevik went on a mission to create a modern take on the Scandinavian dining chair, and just like a school chair their creation had to be both comfortable and durable. The result is a minimal yet honest chair with a timeless expression, the visible grains of the Oak frame emphasising the quality of the material. The wider NY11 range features a number of different configuration and seat types.
Danish designer Rune Krojgaard works are characterized by his high understanding of materials and their properties. These are impressively reflected in his unique and pure use of shapes, his deep fascination for both individual and pure lines combining with a flair for current trends and shapes.
Norwegian furniture designer Knut Benedik Humlevik's design is seeing the balance in a product and trimming away all unnecessary details. His thoroughness for details gives his products the highest standards of functionality and comfort, and following his contemporary artistic style and expertise, he has managed to merge his international inspiration together with the traditional merits from his Scandinavian roots.
