Nash by Kimball

“Nash is a fresh approach to the tub chair. I wanted to push the envelope a bit with the play of positive and negative space both to create an interesting flow around the chair that's seen from all angles as well as to reduce the visually heavy mass that can be so prevalent in more conventional tub chair designs. It's a bit challenging in upholstery, but worth the extra effort and time when you see the results. Proportionally, it's a larger than a normal guest chair. I actually have a hard time calling it a guest chair when defined under conventional guest seating proportions. To me, it’s in between a guest and club chair and can serve the purpose of both. This ample inside seating area allows the rounded, concave shape to comfortably embrace the user.”
