The NY11 Dining Chair is inspired by traditional Danish elementary school chairs, coming to life when designers Rune Krøjgaard and Knut Bendik Humlevik went on a mission to create a modern take on the Scandinavian dining chair. Just like a school chair, their creation had to be both comfortable and durable. The result is a simple and honest chair with a timeless expression, the visible grains in the chair’s structure emphasise the quality of the materials and offer a natural appearance.
This version features stunning leather upholstery, further adding comfort and sophistication to this quintessential Scandinavian design. The wider NY11 family features a complete range of different configurations 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.
