Industrial Designer Stefan Diez's Prototyping Shots of the Fuld Nesting Chair

Herman Miller's first nesting chair

By Rain Noe - November 14, 2023

in Furniture Design

For their first foray into nesting chairs, Herman Miller turned to German industrial designer Stefan Diez. The result is the Fuld Nesting Chair, designed to save space when not needed:

"Its pioneering one-piece construction and tubular arms result in less waste in the production process. In addition, the 3D Knit textile, which is made from 50 percent post-consumer recycled content, is knitted to the chair's exact dimensions, so there's no fabric waste."

Diez posted some prototyping shots on his website:

Diez is also the designer behind that Plusminus lighting system.
