Bend It Like Nanda: A High/Low Wire Chair

June 5, 2013

Nothing is more discouraging to a product designer than seeing their work emulated by a large corporation. So you have to hand it to West Elm for their recent collaborations, where they work directly with designers to create more accessible products for the West Elm line. Case in point, Gaurav Nanda’s Bend Chair, which we featured last year after spotting it at Dwell on Design. Nanda, a Los Angeles-based onetime car designer, uses bent wires in a series of geometric patterns to create a surprisingly comfortable seat. For details, see below:
