Design Inpsired by Grandma


Remember the stand-out white crochet lacework doilies that decorated sofa arms and coffee tables. during the 50's. Australian Designer Henry Sgourakis' Nook chair has forever changed the perception of cheap and tacky doilies with an inventive approach to furniture design and an original take on the contemporary armchair. The Nook is both functional and beautiful. The flexible fiber molds to the body to create a comfortable armchair which can withstand all weather conditions.

So identify a technique. Perhaps something old. Almost extinct. Translate it into a contemporary material and create something modern. Unique. And comfortable.
