What a difference an angle makes: From some, this 005 Lounge Chair looks supremely uncomfortable, from others, practically inviting.

Designed by British furniture designer Max Lamb, it’s made in Finland, and of Finnish Pine.
“The Lounge Chair by Max Lamb is a tough piece of furniture. Yet a hard-as-nails first impression soon gives way to a visual softness and physical comfort.”
“Lamb explains that he began by investigating pine; how it is grown, sawn, received, sold. His approach thereafter was logical; choosing off-the-shelf sections of wood and piecing them together to create a large surface area and logical form. Material is scooped out of the building block-like forms to make two ample convex recesses, revealing the characterful grain within.”
“The result is a strikingly singular chair ‘mathematical in its approach and transparent in its construction’ says Lamb.”
The 005 Lounge Chair is in production by Finnish brand Vaarnii.
