The armchair’s seat and backrest are crafted from flexible wooden slats, but the hanging mechanism has been replaced by a suspension system. The wooden slats cradle the body’s contours as the individual sits down, creating a uniquely ergonomic experience. Whether paired with the Kajen furniture group or used on its own, the armchair looks great in any indoor or outdoor space.

Nola uses high-quality steel of good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. For this we use two main methods for surface treatment of steel parts; electrogalvanizing and powder coating as well as hot-dip galvanizing.
Electrogalvanizing (also known as zinc plating) provides corrosion protection through the sacrifice of zinc ions. It is created via a zinc coating on the steel using an electric current.
Hot-dip galvanizing provides very strong protection against corrosion. The steel is dipped into a bath of hot liquid zinc. The zinc attaches and creates a surface coating on the steel part, which is then taken out of the bath and drained of excess zinc.
Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.
Nola's pine is of high quality and comes from sustainable forestry. Pine is an environmentally friendly, domestically produced material. Damaged or untreated pine is quite easily attacked by decomposition processes; therefore, it is particularly important to repair damaged surfaces.
The quality of red oak is very high, usually without visible knots. Due to its high content of tannic acid, a very high outdoor durability is a given. Red oak that is not maintained gets black spots after a while. The spots gradually fade and after a couple of seasons turn gray, similar to teak. Smaller cracks also usually appear as oak is a very "lively" type of wood. These cracks have a marginal effect on the material's strength and resilience.
FSC-marked mahogany is a wood with good durability in the outdoor environment. In addition, it retains its color tone better than, for example, oak and teak. Mahogany lives and moves, sometimes more than teak.
Oak is a heavy, hard and medium tough wood. Moderately dimensionally stable in case of moisture changes. Oak wood blackens if it is exposed to moisture or wetness for a long time. However, it does not affect the other properties of the wood. Thanks to its hardness and toughness, the oak wood is suitable for furniture and other use in exposed environments.
Wood oil provides good protection against the stresses of the outdoor climate and at the same time highlights the wood's natural appearance and properties.
Varnishing of wood is done with a water-based varnish. A water-based paint that is kinder to the environment. Under normal use, the paint has a good wear resistance and long durability.
After traditional impregnation according to NTR AB, the wood is boiled in a hot linseed oil with or without color pigments under vacuum. The oil is penetrated into the surface on all six sides, which reduces moisture absorption in the wood and gives a dimensionally stable product over time. The result is a dried product with good resistance to rot that also has long maintenance intervals.
Sioo:x is a wood protection with environmentally friendly silicon technology. Water-based and biocide-free. We use Sioo mainly for our oak furniture. Sioo:x treatment of is suitable for all woods, outside as well as inside, and gives a light surface without pigments. The surface is UV-resistant, water-repellent and non-stick. Active and preventive action against algae, mould and pests. Also rot-proof, wood-strengthening and fire-retardant. This wood protection provides long durability and easy maintenance.

Hot-dip galvanized can be touch-up painted with so-called "cold galvanizing".
Products that are electro-galvanized and powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.
Oiled oak should be oiled twice a year for best protection. Good maintenance can never completely prevent stains from occurring, but oak that is not maintained will turn blacker and turn gray faster, but it still has a very long life. When re-oiling products, a finely boiled oil that penetrates the wood should be chosen over a film-forming oil.
Oiled mahogany should be oiled two times a year.
Linax is a linseed oil-based impregnation that provides extra long durability in outdoor environments and corresponds to impregnation class AB. The impregnated wood turns gray over time, which means that it should be re-oiled if necessary. Use a linseed-based oil for impregnated materials.
Sioo:x-treated products are treated twice upon delivery; once with a wood protection (Premium Träskydd Altan) and once with a surface protection (Premium Ytskydd Altan). 10-14 months after a product has been installed, it should be treated once more with Sioo:x Premium Surface Protection Altan for best durability. The lifespan after that is estimated to be about 10 years before it needs to be treated again with Premium Surface Protection Altan. The surface protection forms a wear surface, which means that products that are exposed to severe mechanical wear may need to be treated more often than every ten years. The surface treatment has a tested effect according to the standards EN 46 and EN 113. For information about the Sioo treatment see the website www.sioox.se.
Products in varnished pine must be maintained regularly with alkyd paint. Maintenance intervals approximately 1 time per year. Damage and cracks should be repaired immediately. Touch-up paints in spray packaging are available in standard colors to order.
The Kajen rocking chair has a metal frame that encases the seat and attaches it to the base with spring-like comfort, creating a uniquely ergonomic armchair.
The armchair’s seat and backrest are crafted from flexible wooden slats, but the hanging mechanism has been replaced by a suspension system. The wooden slats cradle the body’s contours as the individual sits down, creating a uniquely ergonomic experience. Whether paired with the Kajen furniture group or used on its own, the armchair looks great in any indoor or outdoor space.
Working collaboratively with Castellum AB (a Swedish developer formerly known as Norrporten AB), Gestalt Arkitektur AB and architect Christian Kahlefeldt, Nola designed and presented a new outdoor office concept at Växjö Business Park I11.
Designer Thomas Bernstrand, who owns his own design studio in Stockholm, has participated in a large number of design and art exhibitions around the world such as MoMA in New York, Colette in Paris, Biennale Design Saint-Etienne and others.
Bernstrand has received several awards for his work, including Excellent Swedish Form and Winner of the Good Design Award 2012 for Nolastolen Share. For Nola, Bernstrand has designed a large number of products and furniture series and participated in a number of special projects over the years.
