WAK CHAIR

In the heart of Alexander's portfolio lies the WAK CHAIR, a testament to his dedication and visionary approach to design. Conceived in 2017, the WAK CHAIR represents Alexander's relentless pursuit of the perfect balance between ergonomic comfort and aesthetic appeal. Countless hours, both awake and in the depths of REM sleep, were devoted to dreaming up and refining a design that marries functionality with a distinctive, playful character. The quest for a creation that was both quirky and timeless led to a chair that promises not just a comfortable seat, but a piece of art.

At MAK MISHO we don't want to compromise comfort over design, or the other way around. Therefore the back cushion is mindfully placed just below your shoulder blades which is the most ergonomic spot between your lower back and shoulders. The spot is carefully calculated comparing the average height of both men and women. This ensures that all types of backs should feel comfortable in our chair. The cushion releases the pressure of the lower back and ensures that you can enjoy many hours in a row in the WAK CHAIR.

The back cushion comes in two different options - one in black real grain leather which will with aging give off beautiful patina and personality. And one in real patent leather that will be the center of attention and at the same time be a practical choice as stains are very easy to wash off this material.  

To guarantee a long lifetime of the WAK CHAIR we have created an easy way of changing the back cushion to suit both your style and current needs. The back cushion is placed with a click-on-system which should make it a simple procedure for all our customers to change themselves. We hope that this option will result in many WAK CHAIRS staying with their owners forever and at the same time being able to take care of our planet. A win-win situation.

The WAK CHAIR comes with a sphere in a stainless steel version for the people who enjoy the simplicity and beauty of natural elements. This sphere offers a timeless look and gives a sense of the big universe that we are all part of.

Our walnut seat has a slight downward angle which ensures that you slide easily into the chair. It raises your legs a little to lift off the pressure of the lower back and gives a sense of lightness. Steel, walnut veneer and leather make up the three magic ingredients that will guarantee you get the feeling of a statement piece, high quality and a natural feel. The back and seat are placed freely on the steel frame with space between to create bounce to your body and a graceful look. 

In 2017 the idea for the WAK CHAIR was born by the designer Alexander Rantzau Hunderup. He used a lot of hours both awake and in REM (sleeping) dreaming of and trying to create the most ergonomic chair for your body. But at the same time he didn’t want to compromise on the design of the chair. So the biggest challenge in the process was to find the right amount of design and comfort. He sketched and sketched away and investigated all the possibilities for making his design come true. He wanted to create something both quirky and timeless that could stay with people for the rest of their lives. Especially the sphere was a difficult process but a very important one to make sure the chair was unique and appealing to all sorts of people. After a lot of development he finally obtained the right amount of playfulness and functionality of the WAK CHAIR and the WAK CHAIR was now ready to meet the world. But like a good fairytale the story means nothing if the hero isn’t tested. The WAK CHAIR met a lot of obstacles along the journey. But luckily the WAK CHAIR didn’t surrender and it is now here and ready to meet you all.
