Nils Ole Zib

“Good design is not the result of addition, where nothing more can be added; excitement first comes when everything unnecessary has been peeled away, and nothing else can be removed.” The words are Nils-Ole Zib’s, and while they might sound boring, or downright pretentious when yet another designer says he follows the “less is more” principle, Nils-Ole’s furniture really holds to this. Like the Nozib deckchair. And you realise how subjective everything is. In all its total simplicity, it simultaneously works as a sculpture, a shadow play, and a work of art.
