Skargaarden Nozib

Nozib designer, Nils-Ole Zib, contributed his initials to this sculptural and functional lounge chair concept. Its philosophy can be boiled down to the maxim ‘less is more’. "Excitement," he says, "happens when everything non-essential is scaled back to a point where you can’t remove anything else." 

Nozib is comprised of 88-layer glued teak wooden slats, beautifully arched, and perfectly mounted. It’s a sun chair. But it’s equipped to withstand rain and inclement conditions. From the screws that hold the end grain away from the ground, to the curved wood slats that are sealed with a dual component adhesive originally developed for making boats, and the neck pillow made of artificial leather.

The neck cushion is made from water-resistant artificial leather and can be height adjusted (or removed altogether). It also folds neatly away.
