The Nirvana Chair is far more than a simple sculptural statement, is a piece of steel furniture that follow the natural shape of the reclining body. The presence of this piece of furniture in any room will change the mood and embellish it with a strong sense of sophistication and style. The concept of form creating function becomes apparent when one is seated: this is an experience blending the impression of security with freedom. The chair’s contours hold the body snugly whilst allowing a feeling of weightlessness to develop with its gentle motion. An alternative to the stand is suspension from a suitable ceiling joist, which creates the surreal effect of floating in mid air.
