Nakovalnya Chair

Nakovalnya

Nakovalnya is a monumental chair that pays homage to the industrial spirit of the imperial Russian forge. Inspired by the blacksmithing heritage of the designer ancestors, the piece translates the heavy, grounded form of the anvil into a contemporary wooden sculpture. Featuring a deep, precision milled concave seat and a brutalist silhouette, Nakovalnya serves as both a functional seat and a valet. It represents the essence of the beginning, a site of labor transformed into a domestic centerpiece through high end craftsmanship.

Nakovalnya Chair by Nataliya Naymark has been recognized as an outstanding example of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Nakovalnya Chair received the Iron A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2026. The A' Furniture Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design prize that honors superior design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
