Fritz Hansen - N01 Chair

Fritz Hansen N01 Chair.

The minimal and beautiful detailled NO1 chair from Nendo Agency, is a mix of Japanese and Scandinavian influences, and consists of 23 wooden parts that are joined together.

Designed by Nendo Agency, the N01 armchair combines Danish and Japanese aesthetics to create a versatile, pure design. For many, the dining room table is not only a place to enjoy a meal, but it is also a place to be productive, a place for conversation, a place to pause, and to be yourself.

The chair consists of 23 separate veneer and solid wood parts that are produced in Belgium. These parts are then all 23 assembled by hand.

The N01 is available in three variations, natural oak, black stained oak or in beech wood. And these can possibly be combined with a dark gray, dark brown, beige fabric seat cushion or in a black leather seat cushion.
