KURV
Year: 2024
Material: Birch
KURV is a small lounge chair in birch, pairing a simple wooden frame with a seat and back woven from thin birch strips.
The woven surfaces are held in light tension, giving a soft, responsive feel when you sit.
The chair explores how birch can be both firm and flexible. Drawing on traditional weaving but shaped in a contemporary form, KURV uses the material’s natural qualities to create comfort without upholstery.
By letting the woven birch carry the body and the rounded frame support the structure, KURV reveals the material’s dual character: strong, warm, and quietly soft.
