Designed for HAY by Norwegian designer Andreas Bergsaker, Chisel Lounge Chair is a contemporary yet timeless take on the ever-relevant moulded plywood chair.
Named after the classic carpentry tool, Chisel was created from the desire to design a solid wooden chair with a distinctive silhouette that would stand the test of time.
"I always strive to design for the longevity of products through a choice of materials and active use of design. I would like to think that the Chisel Lounge Chair is both contemporary yet classical and historically grounded." Andreas Bergsaker
Developed with optimal craftmanship and ergonomics in mind, the chair’s soft, organic seat and backrest provide good support in a visually inviting way, complemented by angled legs that echo the chisel references with their characteristically bevelled edges.
Chisel Lounge Chair’s wide variety of wood types, colours and front upholstery options, combined with its compact size makes it ideal for use in most domestic and public settings, from living rooms and bedrooms to waiting rooms, lobbies, and libraries.
