Mina chair
Furniture design

A relaxed stackable chair to sit and rest on. The task was to create a simple chair which can be shaped and produced in any basic configured carpentry workshop in Lebanon. I worked for UNIDO on a vocational training center concept for Northern Lebanon and at the same time on training programs and infrastructure. The chair is composed of laminated seating shells and shaped legs and beams. The silhouette is simple but different. Imagined to serve in cafe houses, the seating ratio is very inclined and designed for the user to also sit comfortable and relaxed while having a shisha and coffee.
