Detail of Nimm Kei

Nimm Kei

Detail of Nimm KeiNimm Kei is the arm/reading chair version of the Nimm chair pattern. It is a light, ‘fine line’ chair with beautiful shaping & carving of the seat plane to really bring the piece to life. The flat twin post design also features subtle ‘line weight’ style adjustments to accentuate the lightness & envelop the form of the design. Most notable however are the arm rest supports, curving out from the sides of the seat plane & back up & under into the arm rests. Essentially this is a Windsor/slab stick style chair although not as you would know it! The whole chair design utilizes the wonderful resilient strenght quality of ash for the components, which allows the structure to ‘give’ a little & move with the sitter. Greatly adding to the comfort of the chair & stenght of the design. I experimented a while back with minimal form lightweight armchairs namely with the Excelsior design.
Nimm Kei revisits this concept & produces a superior amalgamation of ideas based on the twin flattened rear post arrangement. A sculpturaly light & pleasing minimalist design form with excellent seating posture comfort & arm rests too!
