Description

A wooden chair inspired by the process of drying wood—how wood naturally curves along the grain structure and becomes concave. This chair is built upon a wooden grid system, where the joinery creates a skeleton that supports the wooden slabs forming the seat and backrest. Inspired by scandinavian boat building.

Part of Olle Sahlqvist’s master’s thesis, shortlisted in Buildner The Architect’s Chair Competition 2026, investigating opportunities derived from industrial wood processing.

About Olle Sahlqvist Visit Showroom →

Olle Sahlqvist studied for a bachelor’s in product design at HDK-Valand in Gothenburg. In his degree project named Biomimicry Furniture Design Sahlqvist addressed the climate crisis, which we are dealing with in different ways on an individual level. In Sahlqvist’s opinion, we need to create a stronger relationship with nature to become more empathetic to it. By getting closer to nature's materials and expressions we will become involved in nature's well-being.In 2022 Sahlqvist was represented in the Ex-Works 2022 exhibition at the Museum of Furniture Studies with two objects from the project Invite Nature. The Bark stool taken over by nature's forgotten material, the bark which defends the trees' inner structure. The Fungi shelf with walnut back and fungi shelving bark boards formed after the mushroom's biological structure.
