$Warm Nordic has announced the re-release of Hands Olsen’s 1957 Gesture chair. Also referred to as Model 107, the chair is made from a single piece of molded wood that playfully shrugs at the sitter. Olsen was fascinated with materials and process—the Gesture chair embodies his spirit of experimentation as if motioning, “Beats me if it’ll work—let’s give a try and find out!” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . . . #chair #chairaware #chairdesign #furniture #furnituredesign #furnishings #mobilia #mobilario #mobilarios #silla #stuhl #sillon #sillones #sillón #design #desegno #diseño #designers #chairoftheday #designoftheday #HansOlsen #WarmNordic #Gesturechair #shrug #beatsme #midcenturydesign #moderndesign #diningchair #moldedplywood #Danishdesign$
