Nexus 2

Olivia Gonsalves

Elegant and generously proportioned, these two conjoined chairs can be gently angled to enable intimate conversation and connection. Inspired by Victorian love seats, Nexus – which come in a rich, verdant green – provides a place for rest and relaxation.

Olivia’s work often explores the interplay between sculpture and human-centred design. With a deep interest in the complex relationships between human, technology, ecology and ritual, her practice has a strong narrative thread running through it. This is echoed in her comprehensive and robust approach to research, design development, and material re-imagination.

These chairs were initially designed for Miria Harris’ 2024 RHS Chelsea Show Garden. They are also available as a set of three.

The bench frame is designed to withstand the outdoor weather but it is advised to cover or store inside in the winter months to prolong the life of the product. Removable feet can be oiled twice a year to help protect against weather exposure.

The sling can be removed and stored inside when not in use to protect the longevity of the colour and strength of the fabric.
