Norwegian collective Angell Wyller Aarseth has designed a wooden lounge chair with a slung seat and back for Bernhardt Design.

American furniture brand Bernhardt Design asked Angell Wyller Aarseth to design an armchair that combines the studio’s Nordic sensibility with a link to American heritage.
The resulting chair features a simple open frame made from solid walnut, a material commonly used in American furniture production.

Gently curving armrests continue around the sitter to form a backrest onto which a padded sling is attached. An additional cushion fastened to the back of the sling provides supplementary support.

Oslo is the first commercially produced design by Angell Wyller Aarseth, which was formed in 2010 by Oslo National Academy of the Arts graduates, Christoffer Angell, Øyvind Wyller and Simen Aarseth.

It is available in a range of coloured leather and fabric options and is launching this week during the London Design Festival.
