sum of its parts

The Danish and Japanese share a common design language, and this was evident in the first-ever collaboration between Fritz Hansen and Nendo. Two years in the making, the N01 dining chair is the perfect embodiment of the “simplicity is beauty” ethos that both Danish and Japanese cultures hold in high regard. Made up of 23 parts, the lightweight dining chair belies its solid construction and the rigid thinking that went behind it. And though plywood moulding and solid wood chairs are the domain of Fritz Hansen, N01 is the first screw-free solid wood chair made by the brand since 1957.
