Philosophical Sustainable Chairs

Form & Refine Unveils a Look at the Minimal Lunar Chair

— August 15, 2024 — Art & Design
Danish brand Form & Refine unveils a look at its Lunar Chair, which was designed by Jonas Herman from Herman Studio. The focus highlights the craftsmanship that brings attention to the intention which invites those to embrace the dents and scratches. The brand evokes a philosophical approach to functional designs through a sustainable process. The Lunar Chair is made from FSC-certified oak and the moon influence is referenced in the rounded seat and ergonomic curved back.

Herman explains, “With Lunar Chair, I aimed to create a light and embracing chair. My goal was to make a chair that encourages different ways of sitting rather than locking the user into a single position. The chair’s characteristic rounded backrest with integrated armrests is made from a single piece of solid wood. The form [of the armrests] ensures optimal comfort with support for the sitter’s elbow and lower back and allows for a variety of seating positions.”
