Though the concept behind Bjarke Frederiksen’s Nordic Nomad Chair is more about liberating oneself from societal trappings rather than leisure outings, its stylish design more than justifies it as an exceptional tool for any camping trip. Frederiksen’s creation is an elegant version of a knapsack on a stick. Only this transforms into a chair with storage. The chair has three distinctive functions, sitting, storing, and walking. Every piece has a dual purpose. The leather straps hold the chair together and is also used as shoulder straps when it’s collapsed. The longest pole doubles as a walking stick while the seat transforms into a backpack with additional storage space. Unfortunately the chair is only a prototype and has not been mass produced for the general public. But with enough interest, we may soon see this manufactured.
