Designers’ Open 2009: Nido by Eva Marguerre

Barely were we through the doors Designers Open doors, than we stumbled into an old friend.

Nido by Eva Marguerre

We first saw Nido at the kkaarrllss in Milan, a showcase featuring works from students at the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe.
And were greatly taken by it.

A couple of weeks later and up it popped again at DMY Berlin.
And we suspect, though at this moment can’t prove, that Eva Marguerre and her Nido have also been in London, Brussels and Copenhagen of late.

Unlike us.

The absence of information on Nido lies more in the data volumes we have to contend with rather than any deliberate decision on our part.

But when it turns up on our doorstep …. then we even we can’t ignore it any longer.

What we especially like about Nido is the fact that although you know it’s sturdy enough to sit on – you do hesitate.

The nagging doubt in the back of your head that maybe, just maybe, it really is made from straw, holds you back just for a second.

Which is just gorgeous, and turns an otherwise competently formed and aesthetically pleasing stool/side table into a truly interactive piece of furniture with with which you can build a true loving, platonic relationship.

Nido by Eva Marguerre is made from fibreglass reinforced plastic and is available in four different forms.
