Designed by Norwegian designer
Andreas Bergsaker and produced by
HAY, the
Chisel chair elegantly reimagines the classic molded plywood armchair. Its name, which means “chisel” in English, pays homage to this traditional woodworking tool, whose beveled edges are reflected in the very design of the base, with its slanted legs cut at sharp angles. Designed to stand the test of time,
Chisel was born from a simple desire: to design a solid wood chair with a bold silhouette that is both contemporary and timeless. The curved, enveloping seat and backrest provide natural support for the body, while the organic lines of the structure visually extend the flow of the base, blending artisanal precision with soft, flowing forms. In its Sheepskin version, the chair is adorned with sheepskin, which softens the sculptural character of the wood. This contrast between the raw, mineral quality of the lacquered plywood and the warm, cocooning texture of the fur gives the chair a presence that is both understated and sensory, perfectly suited to Scandinavian interiors as well as more classic spaces. Thanks to its compact size, Chisel fits naturally into a living room, bedroom, library, or reception area, whether in a residential or professional setting.
