Introducing the Haybale Lounge Chair with Footstool by Nicholas Baker – a design that transforms raw rural memories into a refined statement of comfort. Drawing on childhood days spent exploring family farms, this piece reinterprets humble hay bales into a bold, sculptural icon for modern living.

The spirit of rural life – raw, tactile and honest – finds new expression in a piece that comforts and captivates. 

Material Poetry 

Soft, quilted cushions meet bold, industrial straps in a dialogue of texture and strength. Every element is developed with care: the luxurious upholstery embraces you like a cherished memory, while the striking details hint at the hardworking practicality of farm life. Paired with a matching Footstool, the modular design adapts effortlessly, creating intimate spaces and dynamic living areas alike
