Nara Chair

Designed by Shin Azumi (London and Tokyo) the Nara chair is now available from Great Dane, along with other pieces from the Frederica range. The name, Nara, refers to a Japanese city famous for its free-roaming deer – the shape of the back of the chair mimics a deer’s horns.

Negative Chair

Designer Elliot Bastianon has created a chair from timber, but with flexible elements. When sat on, the loose slats of the seat and backrest yield to the person to create an experience rather than just a simple act. The design is also eco conscious, using only plantation timber and low-solvent glues.

Structura paper vase

The late painter and artist Martin Freyer designed the Structura paper vase in 1967, yet it still remains relevant and contemporary today. Reminiscent of crumpled paper, the vase’s surface creates light and shadow thanks to irregularities in the relief forms. It is made from porcelain, with a matt finish.

Aeratron fans

The noiseless movement of Aeratron fans is the result of a design inspired by bird wings. The optimized contours of the blades elimate drag and swirl and cut out sounds caused by wobbling and vibration. The fans use only 10 percent of the electricity used by a conventional ceiling fan.
