Nido lounge chair design goal was the concept of visualtization of relax and comfort of the outdoor space. I wanted to create one product that provide the idea of comfort just looking at it, a product to inspire wellbeing and good life.

Therefore, I thought how to simplify the structure of the product in order to minimize the use of elements.
