Designed by Lucy Kurrein
Pippin is the moveable lounge chair with a playful cone-shaped silhouette and a cupped sit that invites people to gather where they like, and stay awhile when they do. A new spring-loaded castor system makes it 4.5 kg lighter than the original version and easier to reposition, and when someone sits down the chair settles onto its outer pads. An optional fashion-inspired strap handle adds a practical, playful touch. If you’d rather have no castors at all, the glide version is lighter still. Move it, twist it, turn it – connecting has never been so easy.
We designed Pippin to adapt to better materials as they emerged. Bio-based foam and a lighter base give it 55% lower embodied carbon* than the original design.
Castor wheels snap in and out with a screwdriver, so they can be replaced without taking the base apart.
*A1–A3, including biogenic carbon. Full details on the Pippin product page.
Pippin was already one of our most successful chairs, and we kept working on it anyway. On the outside, nothing has changed. Underneath, a redesigned base and patented castor system make Pippin easier to reposition and lighter in carbon.
Sit down and the spring-loaded castors let the chair settle onto its outer pads, so it stays steady while you’re in it. Stand up and it rolls freely again, ready to be moved.
The glide version, with no castors, gets the same bio-based foam and is lighter still.
Same Pippin, but now lighter, in every sense.
Pippin is the single-seat, cone shaped lounge chair that encourages collaboration by making it easy for people to come together.
Specify with castors and handle to easily glide it where you want it.
Go without castors and handle and you have a distinctive lounge chair that adds personality and purpose to a space.
The silhouette isn’t just for show. Sink in and the back rest naturally encourages your shoulders to open – body language that says ‘let’s connect’.

A recipient of a SEAL Award for sustainable product design, Pippin has circularity in its DNA.
The chair fits together and comes apart like a 3D puzzle, so any component can be extracted and repaired, replaced, recycled or reprocessed. It’s easy to change the spec of the chair as needs evolve – switching castors for glides, changing the cover, or adding or removing a handle.
The design helps by making it clear how the pieces come apart: the rubber strap handle, for example, which is attached with two slot-headed screws or the upholstery zip around the back.
And now Pippin is even easier to keep in service. Castor wheels snap in and out with a screwdriver, so they can be replaced without taking the base apart.
All these construction details play into NaughtOne’s Take-Back Programme, which means we can ensure the components of the chair are properly rehomed or recycled when the time comes.
