In Chinese culture, compared with the conventional handshaking among acquaintances, hug more often represents intimacy which is seen only among family members, lovers and friends. Based on this concept, Hug Chair is developed as a symbol of the closeness between humans and chairs.
Hug Chair features a special shape outlined by the sleek lines, which makes it suitable for multiple scenarios of offices, restaurants and home.
The iconic suspended armrests of Hug Chair are designed to upturn to a certain angle, as if welcoming people to take a seat at any time with its open arms. While the steel frame ensures stability and endurability of the chair, the PU foam infilled in the seat (identical with that in car seats) offers the ideal sitting experience of being cuddled. For this time, the interdependence between physical objects and humans takes shape.
