Winwood is an interpretation of Scandinavian design translating heritage through contemporary sensibility.

The chair’s proportions, joinery details, and material selection reflect research into how seated users actually interact with upholstered forms—back support curvature, seat depth and height, armrest positioning all derive from accumulated knowledge about ergonomic comfort.

The design vocabulary remains rigorously modern, avoiding decorative nature reference in favor of structural logic that prioritizes human scale, material honesty, and long-term utility.

Available in textile and leather upholstery reflecting comprehensive material libraries, Winwood integrates seamlessly into residential and contract interior contexts without requiring stylistic reinterpretation.

Designers Jakob Thau and Sami Kallio approach furniture development as collaborative interpretation of Scandinavian craft traditions through contemporary research. Their partnership prioritizes material expression without sacrificing functional clarity or manufacturing efficiency. The Winwood name suggests natural imagery—organic materiality—while the formal vocabulary reflects their methodology: design emerges from understanding how people actually use objects rather than predetermined aesthetic preferences. Thau and Kallio’s approach grounds conceptual explorations in Swedish production realities and established craft traditions.

David Design, the Swedish furniture manufacturer, amplifies these emerging designer voices within Scandinavian contexts while maintaining institutional commitment to quality and sustainability. The brand’s production framework allows Thau and Kallio to realize complex geometric forms through established technical capabilities, ensuring material quality and construction integrity meet contemporary design ambition. For designers and clients seeking contemporary seating grounded in historical craft knowledge while advancing formal language through current research, Winwood demonstrates how established manufacturers support design innovation.
