inga sempe: oesterlen chair and table for gaersnaes

österlen chair 

here is a sneak preview of the österlen chair and table designed by inga sempe for gärsnäs, 
to be presented during the stockholm furniture fair from 8 to 12 feb. 2011.

the recessed surfaces along the chair's back frame are designed to create a more comfortable backrest.
these cuts are repeated throughout the chair, acting both functionally to form the wood joints
and adding visual interest to the piece.
