Uku
Uku, designed by Simon Pengelly, is a visually delicate lounge chair made from oak. Designed to be harmonious and balanced, with no individual feature being the main protagonist, allowing Uku to elegantly fit into any setting.
Uku possess a subtle Scandinavian influence where materiality, honesty, and warmth, the familiar characteristics of wood, are quietly abundant. Furthermore, the upholstered elements have a visually intuitive and inclusive relationship with the frame.
