01 — The starting point

A piece that
carries a name.

This is the Nadyr Chair — a piece that carries my grandmother's name, and much of her presence. I grew up with her by my side, at the table, over coffee and conversation, where I learned, even in silence, what it meant to be strong.

It was also in a chair that I said goodbye to her for the last time. That memory became form: a tribute made of material, line, gesture and memory — presence and absence meet here, in the firmness of the leather and the warmth of the wood.

Two versions
01Natural
02Ebonized

The same structure, two finishes — the choice belongs to whoever receives the piece.

From the workbench
to the weave.

Two materials,
two colours.

The firmness of leather. The warmth of wood. The delicacy of the weave.

06 — Final result

A memory
that became form.

Presence and absence meet here: the firmness of the leather, the warmth of the wood, the delicacy of the weave. A tribute made of material, line, gesture and memory — a light chair, made to last, in two versions: natural and ebonized.
