To sit down and forget you’re in a chair, to let yourself be carried away by the music., to feel – these are the ideas that drove the creation of the Byen chair, developed specifically for Copenhagen’s sophisticated DR Byen concert hall. Jean Nouvel worked in collaboration with the Figueras Design Centre ‘to achieve a balance between an original chair design and the comfort of functional seating’. The Byen chair’s distinctive lines are inspired by a classic chair once used in royal boxes, but the latest technologies were applied to achieve acoustic excellence.
