Timber ‘Prop’ Chair by Nikodem Szpunar

‘Prop’ chairs are the embodiment of sleek contemporary aesthetic, drawing influence from Scandinavian design.

May 21st, 2014

With its late 19th-century origins, its no surprise that Polish manufacturer Paged Meble has developed into one of the globe’s major suppliers of wood-based interior furniture. There’s nothing old-world about this brand’s contemporary range, however.

Made from solid wood with natural veneers and designed along clean, natural-looking lines, Paged Meble furnishings pay homage to contemporary Scandinavian style

The New Prop Range for Paged designed by Nikodem Szpunar is a classic form inspired by design prevailing in the 50s. Characteristic structure based on traditional turned elements with a seat and a backrest made of plywood.

Sophisticated details emphasise natural methods of wood processing and bonding.
