Jehs + Laub design the new Nook sofa, which is a cozy seating look in a compact structure defined by its low set and high back for a comfortable feel. COR presented this during Salone del Mobile 2023 alongside the Jalis Club chair and the Shrimp chair at Fuirisalone. The Nook features clean lines and the interior is soft, creating an overall sculptural look to the seating. Additionally, the piping comes in a contrasting color or the option for a tone-on-tone look.
Following this is a revamped version of the Shrimp 23 chair, which is also designed by Jehs + Laub. The designer duo state, “When we review older designs we always ask ourselves if we’d do it the same way today. We wouldn’t change anything about the Shrimp seat shell, because the fact that it’s made from a single piece of wood makes it iconic and special. However, we don’t think the seat core reflects contemporary tastes.”
