Karina Armless Guest Chair by Glyn Peter Machin for HBF

Dutch designer Glyn Peter Machin recently added the Karina armless guest chair to the seating options for HBF. A companion to his existing guest chair with arms, the new version also takes inspiration from iconic designs from mid-century modern Danish design.

Celebrating both beautiful organic forms and superior craftsmanship, the sturdy Karina is made from solid ash wood is defined by soft lines and a sleek profile. All elements of Karina are carefully crafted and shaped, without a single straight regular-cut component involved. Each piece – from the slender legs to the curved backrest and generous semi-circular seat – flow effortlessly in relation to each other, and appear as a single crafted model.

Lightweight in construction, the detailed curvaceous form of Karina is enhanced by exposed tenons and clean lines, offering a striking visual appeal with a contemporary twist on classic Scandinavian styling.
