Design Guild Mark Award presentation 2017

At the Design Guild Mark Award presentation, designer Nicolette de Waart displayed her Leaf Seat. She explained the idea behind her design and how she got to the unique shape of the pouf.

The jury was impressed and they wanted to try it instantly even though she was still explaining the concept of the design! They were, in particular, pleasantly surprised about the comfort. They assumed the piping would give some discomfort but were overwhelmed by the softness of the chair.
