Designed by Andreas Engesvik, Oslo, the wooden chair Vang is built and constructed around a sturdy framework. The uprights that form the backrest and the way they are connected to the seat are directly inspired by Alf Sture’s Windsor chairs, designed for Tonning in the 1960s. The stick-back-theme is reworked to fit a modern context. The steam-bent top-piece, which has been used by a number of designers through the years, is today recognised as a classic Scandinavian design element. The technique is traditional: joint fittings and glue. The Vang chair was launched at the Norwegian exhibition during the London Design Festival in September 2012.
