Cove armchair by Tom Fereday for Nau

Dezeen Showroom: designer Tom Fereday and Australian brand Nau aimed to celebrate the beauty of timber through this armchair, which is characterised by its sculptural frame.

The Cove armchair has distinctive sides made from slender panels of solid wood, which curve outwards into a smooth lip at the top. A rhythmic arrangement of horizontal timber cylinders support the seat and connect the panels.

The result is seating that creates visual interest, no matter the angle at which it is placed in a room, according to Nau. The use of traditional joinery techniques bolsters this 360-degree viewing appeal.

The broad panels allow the unique grain of each piece of timber to be displayed uninterrupted, and the material's natural origins mean that no two chairs are alike.

Feather-filled cushions complete the armchair, providing a soft contrast against the solidity of the frame.

The Cove collection also includes a sofa and a coffee table, which again brings together slender and robust wood elements to create pieces with strong aesthetic presence.
