PROTO Armchair
PROTO is a series of curved, upholstered chairs, sofas, benches and stools, working as a dynamic dwelling, referencing huts more than rooms with four walls.
The way +Halle® and Nick Ross developed the design of the upholstery together for the PROTO Collection contributed to a qualitative, tailored and comforting finish.
As the intuition is to turn the seats, the collection proofs an interesting flexible landscape of open and closed encounters. The installation of PROTO is not only fundamentally adaptable to its context but also flexible to any environment — a testament that the use of PROTO is constantly evolving.
The Proto collection is Nick Ross’ interpretation of +Halle®’s brief on dwelling, inspired by our desire to seek shelter from an over-stimulated public realm. “I was thinking literately about what I felt the word dwelling meant, and it brought me back to an early type of refuge,” says Scottish-born, Stockholm-based designer Nick Ross, “I wanted to create a feeling of a primal place, for instance, tucking yourself into a corner.”

Nick Ross’ Stockholm-based design practice takes refreshing inspiration from philosophy and art.
Well-researched, the shapes and forms unveiled are a response to human stories, new behaviours, and historic crafts. But it is the poetry in Ross’ — minimal yet considered — work that stands out, filled with vivid narratives and beautiful ideas. Tactility, through both materiality and finish, runs through Ross’ collections, creating an inviting sense of humanism around everything the studio produces. This and more are reasons why Ross received +Halle’s Annual Brief on Sharing.
