ROCKING NEST CHAIR
Meditative movement, considered design and practical construction
make the Rocking Nest Chair a sanctuary of peace and harmony.
Like his other imaginative, innovative work, Bak’s
Rocking Nest Chair was borne out of a real human need.
Bak conceived the design when his sister needed a
comfortable place to relax with her newborn baby, creating
a one-of-a-kind form with unprecedented functionality.
Dynamic in its expression and clear in its construction, the
seemingly floating Rocking Nest Chair unites a light steel
and wood frame, a seat with a canvas back and a canvas or
leather front, and a soft leather cushion into a welcoming,
organic silhouette. For Bak, who is fond of nomadic living
and fascinated by society’s ever-changing needs, the chair
also needed to be flexible and meet the constraints of urban
spaces. To this end, the Rocking Nest Chair incorporates a
mechanism that makes it easy to fold the chair flat with just
a few steps.
Representing minimalism and craftsmanship at their best,
the Rocking Nest Chair reinterprets the Danish design
heritage for modern interiors – while highlighting the
potential of Bak’s chosen materials.
The result of Carl Hansen & Søn’s collaboration with the designer Anker Bak,
the Rocking Nest Chair fully reimagines an age-old concept for modern living
and unwinding.
