Nun Chair
Nun Chair embodies Ara Thorose's minimalist approach to seating design, achieved in just three curved movements of a soft cylinder. This formal economy creates a piece that feels both essential and contemplative, evoking the monastic simplicity suggested by its name. The shape is rigid but padded, providing comfortable support with a low back that encourages an upright, engaged posture. The rubberized material offers a tactile alternative to the fabric finishes of other Thorose pieces, introducing an industrial quality that contrasts with the organic shapes. The dimensions - 30.5cm wide, 61cm deep and high - create a compact but substantial presence. Weighing 15.9kg with steel construction, the Nun Chair has a durability that matches its timeless aesthetic. Made to order with a lead time of 10 to 12 weeks, each piece can be personalized in color.
