Matthew Nunn Studio has been Shortlisted for the Seating – Chair Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

Rooted in pure mathematics, the Hedron Lounge Chair is not only built with the correct ergonomic measurements and angles for a seating piece, but it also sits as a functional sculpture in the home. The paired lounge chair and footstool is customisable in its specifications and features the high level of quality and craftsmanship that is at the heart of every piece by Matthew Nunn Studio.

The piece is based on the Dodecahedron; the fourth platonic solid which has been studied for thousands of years. Matthew Nunn Studio thrives on technical challenges and so each dihedral mitre on every side of each pentagon is cut by hand to a degree of accuracy of 0.1 degrees and 0.5mm, as it is then jointed by hand with mortise joints along each edge to ensure its longevity. The result is a piece that is beautifully simple in its complexity.

Elevating the Hedron Lounge Chair from being ‘just’ furniture is its ability to evoke emotion from the user when in use as well as when viewed upon. With its curated range of material choices as well as its ability to be customised to a client’s requirements, the chair is capable of accenting the interior, whilst simultaneously incorporating a statement piece. The adaptable aesthetics of the chair then sets the tone for what environment it will work best in.
