The Novo Chair is created with focus on the Danish medicinal company Novo Nordisk. A brand known for their innovation grounded in great tradition, dating back to 1923. I wanted to create a chair for the employees, that provided the very best setting for their meetings. This chair gives the user the opportunity to turn the back- and armrest from side to side, without the seat moving. In this way, the user can change focus around the room and have a better foundation for working and avoid sitting in the same position throughout the meeting. 

 

At Novo Nordisk it is important to create a casual feeling at the meetings, because when you're making innovation, there are no bad ideas. I wanted to combine the feeling and experience of an evening dinner with a professional meeting, so the Novo Chair looks like a dining chair but moves like an office-chair. The upholstery is sponsored by Kvadrat.

The chair has been exhibited at Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair 2019 in Greenhouse, as part of the exhibition "A Guestside chair" by KADK.
