The Danish designer Kasper Salto has designed the NAP™ chair for Fritz Hansen. With its curvaceous form, the NAP chair is feminine and elegant. The contours of the Nylon shell adapt naturally to the shape of the human body and the textured waves turn hours of sitting into an attractive proposition. "If people who sit in the chair notice they have been sitting comfortably, I think I've succeeded." says Salto.
Base material: Chromed steel
Seat height: 64 cm
