Eikund – 12th may 2021
NYCxDESIGN Awards Finalist
Fluffy by Eikund is a 2021 NYCxDESIGN Awards Finalist in the Iconic Products category.
The Fluffy lounge chair by Fredrik A. Kayser is characterized by its ultra-soft upholstery in Norwegian sheepskin, and its sloping armrests leaning you into a welcoming embrace. Kayser graduated from National Academy of Craft and Art Industry back in 1945 and the lounge chair was designed while being employed at Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor. It combines both art and function into one, a floating cloud of fluffiness that builds on the past for the present. This is a brand-new species that can live anywhere! Designed in 1954.
“We are very excited to be in the finals with Fluffy, which is our statement piece”
– Jørgen Tengesdal, CEO Eikund
