I may have always wanted to fly like a bird (insert R. Kelly soundbite here), but considering that will probably never happen in my lifetime, I'll settle for nesting in something like the appropriately named Nest Chair.
Designed by Nina Bruun, the Nest Chair is not only a literal interpretation of a bird's nest, it also represents the coming spring season. Fashioned out of birch strips and a comfortable chocolate brown center, I could probably nest in there until summer is officially here.
