Nina & Beni
Chair for marinomaza
Inspired by the aerodynamic yet efficient forms of naval construction the Nina & Beni chair is made from 100% sustainably sourced forests.Two steam-bent strips cantilever over the seat to serve first as legs then armrest and finally mold to the lumbar area. In an exercise of efficiency the Nina chair uses the least amount of material to create beautiful complex forms. Crafted with century old technology along with modern 3d machinery the Nina & Beni chair tests the limits of what is possible with wood.

Production Technology
To achieve the complex geometry of the Nina & beni chair we use a 5 axis CNC to cut 2 molds which we then use to steam bend the solid wood strips to their form. We then use another set of cnc-cut counter molds to make the 3d lamination.
Design Challenge
The most difficult part was designing and building the 3 dimensional molds needed to build the chair.
Project Duration
This project started in September 2019, was exhibited at The Stockholm Furniture fair in January then at the London design fair in September
Operation Flow
Solid wood chair meant to last a lifetime Seat is removable and interchangeable.
Research
Sustainability is my design objective. I use wood because it is the best short carbon cycle material, the complex shapes are steam-bent so as to create as little waste as possible. These pieces are made from quality materials and designed to last a lifetime.
Inspiration
Inspired by the efficient yet beautiful forms of wooden naval structures. Boat building achieves aerodynamic forms that take advantage of the trees grain with little waste.
