The Betty chair, named after the famous Copenhagen’s Betty Nansen theatre, was originally built in 1857, the eponymous chair is the result of a design dilemma for the designers Jakob Thau & Sami Kallio.
To create a comfortable seating, adapted to every space, the idea formed was to enhanced the universal component usually hidden underneath the frame. Therefore, Betty’s most prominent feature is its exposed webbed seat. Using natural linen fibres, the webbing straps are woven by hand, tailored to fit each wooden seat frame.
