Wooden Spoon chair (2008)
This dining chair is based on the classic Nordic stick chair or Windsor chair. The characteristics of the chair are the 6 sticks which are not attached to the seat, but penetrates through it and rests in the rung that brings together the hind legs.
Scandinavia has a tradition for stick chairs that are lightweight. This chair gives a twist to the traditional stick chair design.

Prototype made of soap treated ash and horse hair. Textile designed and woven by Jacob Bille.

Parlour Lounge Chair by Jonas Wagell


Parlour Lounge Chair by Jonas Wagell for Wendelbo

Inspired by the idea of a “parlour” – a space designed for entertaining, socialising, and relaxation – the Parlour series for Wendelbo includes a lounge chair and a matching ottoman.

With pronounced piping details defining the shape, the lounge chair’s sweeping backrest is seamlessly attached to the round, voluminous seat. Elevated by a frame and gently tapered legs in powder-coated cast aluminium, the chair radiates confidence while maintaining a grounded presence.

Pondering the design, Jonas Wagell explains:
”I believe an iconic piece of furniture is created in one of two ways; Either with an idea, concept or construction that is unique enough to break new ground – or with shapes and proportions that capture a personal expression and embody a singular and recognisable character. This project strives to be just that. A simplistic and graphic object that will capture a room and be memorable for the eye.”

Can a piece of furniture teach etiquette an proper manners?
This chair eliminated the safety net and thus requires the user to consider their posture. The sitter can not expect to be supported, but has to pay attention to their way of sitting.
Has the school of hard knocks had its time? Should furniture provide a safe space, or can it expect more from its users? Might this chair actually encourage new ways of sitting?
The chair is a classic cabinetmaker´s chair without a backrest – or a stool with armrests.

Made of oil treated elm wood and danish paper cord.
