Description
Generous: Uchiwa armchair from Hay
Even at first glance, you can see how soft and open the design of the Uchiwa armchair from Hay is. It is particularly inviting and spacious - the wooden base contrasts pleasantly with the seat, which is available in a simple and a quilted version.
Doshi Levien design studio
The Doshi Levien design studio was founded in London in 2000 by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien. Doshi grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design, while Jonathan, who comes from Scotland, trained as a carpenter and later as an industrial designer. They both met during their studies at the Royal College of Art. in 2008, they were honoured with the prestigious Future Legends of Design by the Cooper Hewitt National Museum of Design in New York. The two are a well-rehearsed team - while Doshi is mainly concerned with visual culture, an aesthetic understanding of the world and the materiality of things, Levien concentrates more on industrial precision and technology.
