A Chair for Every Need
The chair: one of the most basic pieces of furniture. The archetype has four legs, a seat, and a back. It holds your weight and supports an upright position for an extended period of time. But that is just the beginning: chairs have been designed to serve countless additional purposes, from giving us a moment of privacy to helping us to connect. There is a chair for every fundamental need!
Body Chair – Autonomy
A six-meter-long, rice-filled cushion that adapts to your body. Shape it however you want to sit—the chair follows your preferred posture, giving you complete control over your seating experience.
Harp Chair – Beauty
This sculptural object turns sitting into an artistic experience. The design was inspired by the curved bow of a Viking ship. Its woven rope seating creates striking optical patterns, blurring the line between furniture and art. By Jørgen Høvelskov.
Folding chair – Community
The humble folding chair transforms any space into a meeting place. Its uniform design creates equality among users, while the shared ritual of setting up chairs builds instant group bonds.
Chairless Chair – Competence
A wearable support system for professionals who need to move and sit frequently. Healthcare workers, engineers, and lab technicians can rest anywhere while staying mobile and efficient. By Carl Stahl GmbH.
Luxor Tech – Ease
This is the ultimate comfort chair, with near-horizontal reclining, a built-in phone charger, cooled cup holder, and massage function. Designed to make you never want to get up. By Vismara.
Kneeling Chair – Fitness
The kneeling chair follows your body’s natural movements. Its tilted seat reduces lower back pressure and relieves neck and shoulder tension through better posture. Original design by Peter Opsvik.
Terra! – Impact
An outdoor chair that needs time to grow. You cover the cardboard frame with soil and grass seeds, then wait as nature develops your creation. The result is both a living mark on the landscape and a comfortable garden chair. By Studio Nucleo.
Chubby Chair – Morality
3D printed from recycled fridge plastic, this chair shows its origins through visible imperfections and varied colors. Instead of hiding recycled materials behind perfect finishes, it celebrates sustainability openly and proudly. By Dirk van der Kooij.
Stitch and Wooly – Purpose
This chair arrives incomplete, requiring you to finish it through stitching and embroidery. The time-intensive process and personalized result create deep satisfaction and ownership. By Susanne Westphal.
The Peacock Chair – Recognition
Originating in the Philippines and popularized globally in the 1960s–70s, this throne-like chair frames you with its towering fan-shaped back. Adopted by celebrities and activists, it commands attention and signals status.
The Courting Chair – Relatedness
This Victorian-era dual-seat design positions you for intimate conversation with another person. The S-shape creates perfect distance—close enough for you to whisper secrets, separate enough to preserve propriety.
Hush Pod – Security
A felt cocoon that wraps you in soft enclosure, temporarily shielding you from the outside world. You can open or close the cocoon to match your need for psychological safety. By Freyja Sewell.
KU DIR KA – Stimulation
This chair makes sitting an engaging balancing act. Because only four of the ten chair legs touch the ground simultaneously, you can change orientation with subtle weight shifts. By Paulius Vitkauskas.
