Introduction

Designed by Johan van Hengel, Nook PET Felt Lounge Chair defines personal space within shared environments. The high-backed shell wraps around the user, reducing visual and acoustic distractions from surrounding activity. The upholstered seat cushion provides comfort for extended sitting in hotel lobbies, office breakout areas, library reading zones, and waiting rooms where people need a quiet moment without full enclosure. Choose from 11 PET felt colours and any RAL frame finish to match your interior specification.

The generous proportions and high back define personal space within open environments. The high back shields the user from visual distractions on either side, creating focus without isolation. PET felt's acoustic properties reduce ambient noise, making Nook well suited to busy lobbies and open-plan offices. The upholstered cushion pairs Kvadrat fabric with high-density foam for lasting comfort in commercial use.

3D pressing technology

Nook's shell forms through a single 3D pressing operation that shapes flat PET felt into the curved wraparound profile. The design reduces multiple production steps to one process, and because Nook consists of just three elements, the chair is easy to disassemble and recycle.

Its acoustic separation from surrounding circulation makes it equally suited to reception spaces where people come and go throughout the day.
