"Famously" Designed Chair

David Trubridge



Nananu

Nananu chair by New Zealand designer David Trubridge is inspired by the different, varied culture and unique mixture of indoor and outdoor living. The chair is made of ash or oak, hop pine plywood and stainless screws.


David's work is produced in New Zealand using only natural materials so as to minimize the impact on the environment. He has a background in naval architecture that manifest in his designs. The forms he creates in this environment, his sculptures and furniture, speak of simplicity and the fragility of life, of man's dependence on his environment, of his preservation and his optimism for the future as a result of the sustainable development.













Blobby seat made of wood.

If a beanbag were made of wood, it would be Nananu (reminds me of Cobonpue). Made by WhiteFlax in Italy, but with designs and designers that come from Australasia. The collection is inspired by the "different and varied culture and unique mixture of indoor / outdoor living" of Polynesia, New Zealand and Australia. Other bent wood creations include a curvy rocking chair called Rocker, Dondola the undulating rocking recliner, Liferaft seating, the hammock-like Sling recliner, and the skeletal Coral Lamp.
