Wicker chair Nook Chair for home and cottages
Memories of happy childhood moments ofteninspire creative people to create new works, whether it be a painting, a piece of music or furniture. Australian designer Henry Sgourakis, who created the wicker Nook Chair, explains what inspired him: When I think back to my childhood, I see myself running away from my grandmother’s house to hide. Playing hide and seek in the 3 acres of bushland around the house was a favorite pastime. I remember the colorful decor of the 50s and the mostly white lace doilies decorating the arms of the sofa, the coffee table and most surfaces in the room. So I wanted to create a piece that would evoke warm memories, childhood feelings of joy, carelessness and love, reminding us of the simplicity of life. In a world where technology almost dictates the terms of our existence, it is important for me to remember the past, my childhood, and carry these feelings into the future. The beauty of these handcrafted chairs is created for this very purpose.
The chair is a metal frame withwicker seat. The weaving is made of elastic bands, so under the weight of a seated person the weaving stretches and forms a cozy nest. For greater comfort, you can put artificial fur, a blanket and pillows. And for decorative purposes - tie large feathers on beads, then the wicker chair will acquire an ethnic character, reminiscent of Indian "dream catchers".
The name of the Nook chairs is literally translated fromEnglish means "a secluded corner". And indeed, somewhere in the garden at the dacha or in the country house in such seats it is good to be alone, remember childhood or dream.
