Nexus 

The interlocking cross members of the Nexus chair create an open structure contoured to the body for a surprisingly comfortable sit.

The physical presence of the chair, its massiveness or lightness, change as you move around the object.

The Story: Designing a chair is the pinnacle of industrial design. Having worked at Henry Dreyfuss Associates (creators of the Measure of Man & Woman), seating design at Designworks BMW, and Niels Diffrient’s mentoring while at Cranbrook has informed Nexus’s ergonomic fit to the body.

Status: Self-initiated concept. Photographs of prototype. Nexus is looking for a partner.
