The Nub is an attractive and unique collection of chairs, armchairs and lounge chairs and benches with solid beech frame and numerous finish options.
The design is the result of sophisticated woodworking process and the modern detailing of the sculpted backrest. The geometry of spindles is not only for aesthetic purposes but also provides lumbar support. The alternating rhythm of the namesake nubs gives the pieces their materiality and three-dimensional quality.
