Hug side chair

Hug is an upholstered dining chair has an enveloping line that forms the armrest and front legs. The name Hug stands for Humane, Universal and Genuine – but also, simply the feeling of receiving a warm hug.

Investigating the potential of wood as a chair-making material led to a new creation that fuses the aesthetics of two classic archetypes: the Chinese Ming-style circle chair, and the Thonet Vienna N.811 armchair. Available as armchair, or without arm.
