Hasta La Ideas

The seemingly-odd proportions of this Naya chair, by Greenlandic designer Anders Zeeb, make sense once you read his design statement.

“My design is based on the Greenlandic Inuit culture and not least the Greenlandic nature. The NAYA dining chair is inspired by Inuit`s oldest tool ULU, which has been used since 2500 BC. I have transformed it into an iconic piece of furniture expressing our culture and sharing names with my beloved family.”
