Finnish designer Kaspar Nyman prizes simple aesthetics and natural wood as a material, and both come admirably to the fore with his minimalist Pause 2.0 seating. The dining chair's sleekly curved seat and back are comfortably proportioned and only enhanced by the rounded legs and elegant joinery achieved with traditional craftsmanship. Rooted in classic Scandinavian functionality, the chair from Denmark maker Woud is timeless, unprepossessing and apropos for both residential and contract use.
