STING - Supplementary chair

Brunstad AS wished to design a modern supplementary chair. STING is designed to as a freestanding product, at the same time as it can be used as part of a larger sitting arrangement.

Inspired by natural, organic shapes, the chair is intended to give users an aesthetic experience and good ergonomic support.

The jury's verdict:

STING is the “missing link” in the world of loungers. Its limited size and rounded proportions means it can easily be used in most environments. A uniform primary design, with a single-piece back and armrests, gives it an open and honest expression.

Although slightly retro in terms of style, the chair boasts new and exciting details. The most prominent feature is the ability to regulate the chair’s height, which can completely change the nature of the lounger, at the same time as one modifies the sitting position. This is a chair to be fond of, with a timeless design since it includes elements from a variety of eras.
