Nu's New Chairs are a Croc

Nu's New Chairs are a Croc

We're not accustomed to receiving full press releases on restaurant furniture so we were not sure what to expect, but this is what the new chairs at Nu restaurant actually look like. Not quite what we had imagined, but interesting in their own quirky sort of way.

A sort of new Nu renew, they are not actually new chairs, but rather the old ones with a new ergonomic backing pad. The addition is meant to give fuller support to the lumbar region, and hopefully to prevent customers from lumbaring right off their seats, as some have been reported to do after a cocktail or two or three.

We think they look a little like someone has left their alligator purse or briefcase behind them while making a quick trip to the powder room, and we suppose if they were real croc hide, some people might try to pinch them for conversion for just that purpose. But no, in keeping with Nu's conservationist policies, the material is jungle faux. Which also means there will be no stock of crocodile steaks in the freezer for any upcoming big game dinners.

P.S. Our CFOL readers are applauding Nu for finding a way to recycle the chairs instead of throwing them into the landfill, and that yes, they are a lot more comfortable now.
