Designer Paul Nederend has turned his fascination for traditional woodworking into a beautiful new seat called Chair Pole.
The chair’s wooden frame, which is made of European oak, is created with traditional woodworking techniques and the seat is upholstered using a more contemporary fabric – Hallingdal from Kvadrat (1968).
I love the hard and soft mixture and the bit of texture in the seat. The rounded stick-like wood legs and armrests are very Scandinavian and remind me of architectural elements found in wooden buildings like cabins. Essentially, they’re trestles. Overall, it’s a very inviting and warm design.
Chair Pole available for purchase through Odesi.

A chair should look good when empty, and it should be comfortable and structurally sound when occupied. And if you’re Danish, it should last at least 50 years. At the very least, this one does not appear to be Danish.
It would amaze me to see this support a typical overweight and slightly awkward American.
