The Nestor Chair embodies the essence of thoughtful Scandinavian design—where noble materials, careful attention to detail, and genuine comfort create a timeless piece that transcends trends. Named after “Nestor,” meaning “the noblest” (and implicitly, the wisest), this chair exemplifies how sustainable practices can harmonize with exceptional design.

Meticulously crafted from FSC®-certified beech wood, the Nestor Chair features a natural paper cord seat woven with traditional techniques that honor classic Danish craftsmanship. The wide, generous armrests align perfectly with the thoughtfully angled backrest, creating an embracing sitting experience that invites lingering conversations and moments of repose.

Every element of the Nestor serves a purpose—both aesthetic and functional. The carefully considered proportions and structural integrity ensure exceptional durability, making it equally suited for bustling public environments and cherished private spaces. Available in multiple variants, the chair adapts effortlessly to diverse interior settings while maintaining its distinctive character.

As part of Mater’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the Nestor Chair represents a conscious approach to production. For every tree harvested in creating this piece, a new one is planted—preserving natural resources for generations to come. This reflects Mater’s broader mission to challenge conventional manufacturing by creating ethical, sustainable designs that minimize environmental and social impact.

Designer Tom Stepp’s vision for the Nestor Chair demonstrates that wisdom in design means looking both to heritage techniques and future responsibility—creating furniture that’s not only beautiful and functional today, but respectful of tomorrow.
