NORR11: Collection 2017, 36 92

— 36 —
NORR11 is proud to announce the relaunch of
the Shanghai Dining Chair. Designers Rune
Krøjgaard and Knut Bendik Humlevik, along
with NORR11 founder and partner Tommy
Hyldahl, went on a quest to China looking for
inspiration to design a modern Scandinavian
take on the ancient Chinese Horseshoe Chair.
It can be said that the design goes more than
700 years back, as they found an armrest on
a chair dating back to the Yuan Dynasty, a
period where Marco Polo was still in China. This
became the inspiration for the Shanghai Chair.
They started working with talented craftspeople
and through trial and error, tweaking small
details over the years, the final result is a
distinctively modern take on the Yuan Dynasty’s
Horseshoe chair.
The Shanghai chairs were one of the first chairs
produced by NORR11. The Shanghai Chair was
originally produced in Asia to preserve the
original production methods of connecting solid
wood pieces using woodworking joints and rarely
using any glue or nails. In 2017 production was
moved to Europe and the Shanghai Chair was
reintroduced to the market.
The Shanghai Chair features a steam bent solid
ash wood frame and a seat of handwoven paper
cord or leather. The back and the armrest play a
central role in the chair’s construction, giving it
an iconic shape and firm support. The high back
provides comfortable support and the armrest
effortlessly surrounds the body of the chair. The
paper cord seat is hand-woven and the leather
upholstered seat option comes with Premium or
Vintage Leather from Sorensen Leather.
