Copenhagen based designer Nina Bruun has created outdoor chair “the nest chair “. Influenced by the coming season and of nature, this chair is inspired by a bird’s nest.  To create a graphical chaos which still felt like a unified whole. The chair’s supporting structure consists of a bottom, seat and four stabilizing legs. To create a “nest feeling” I played with birch strips in different thicknesses and hurled them around the supporting structure. In order not to divert attention from the nest of birch strips,  make a very anonymous upholstered cushion in a dusty chocolate brown which plays beautifully with the pale birch. The chair had a soft center to create references to the bird’s nest, that are typically lined with down, to form a confident frame for eggs and chicks.
