'Trinidad' chair, grey

Bold and striking, Nanna Ditzel's 'Trinidad' chair is a statement piece in every sense. Cut from grey ash wood and defined by cut-out fretwork on its curved shell back, the chair was ground-breaking when it debuted in 1993. As well as being well-ventilated and stackable, the lightweight design is decorative and functional in equal parts, making it equally suited to both public and private settings — no doubt a key factor in its standing as a modern classic.
