Nulien
cupboard for washroom
“Nulien” is a relaunch of the Menzel-Chair, manufactured by “Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau”. The basic principle consists of disassembling the starting product into its component parts and reordering those in a modified form. It was important to me to create well-defined contours by maintaining the flowing shape.

Mostly the backside of chairs is the more important one, notfacing the table. So it creates a stronger impression, compared to the frontside. The orange metal elements are clearly recognisable as the connecting parts. They define the molded wooden parts without interrupting their dynamic. A contrary, but harmonizing combination arises with the american walnut as face veneer and the highlighted points of attachment.

The wooden elements consist of double-pressed beech-veneer to include extra veneer layers in the angle for better stability. As pressing moulds I use metal reinforced upper and lower shells out of medium-density fiberboard.
The chair is stackable, thus being useful for a lot of purposes. “Nulien” is completely manufactured in the Central Workshops of Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle.
