The Nun Lounge Chair makes a bold design statement with its exaggerated high backrest, creating a strong visual presence as it subtly reclines. The seat features an inward-curving central ring, reminiscent of a macaron, adding softness and playful charm. A black metal frame provides stable support, contrasting with the smooth, rounded surfaces to enhance visual tension, resulting in a design that is both artistic and attention-grabbing.
Born in 1967, Henrik Pedersen graduated as a fashion designer in 1990 and now runs 365° North, a Danish design studio based in Aarhus that focuses on lifestyle-based design, ranging from furniture and lighting to projects for clothing and food packaging companies.
His furniture designs are characterized by elegance, exquisite materials, and formal clarity.
"For me, design must have a meaning. The shape, colour and choice of materials have to complement each individual design. Good design is functional, beautiful and easy to understand."
