The Nalgona chair is woven of 100% Colombian Mimbre (Wicker) harvested in the Colombian Amazon. Chris Wolston wanted to create something that was soft but still maintained a strong materiality. A lot of furniture and other material objects made for humans, and steer away from embodying human-like form. Wouldn’t it be nice to actually embrace these similarities? The human form riffs on the iconic shape of the plastic Remax Chair, ubiquitous through Colombia, and the playful humanoid quality found in pre-Columbian ceramics.
