Architects and designers Claesson Koivisto Rune have created a comfortable armchair with a unique open-armed silhouette that appears to be extending a hug. “… we have looked for a particular silhouette. A friendly, recognisable gesture that encompasses all of these aspects but also, speaks directly to the heart – the hug.” adds CKR. “The friendly and welcoming gesture, seen most clearly in the ‘open-armed’ position of the armrests, is meant as a universal invitation: ‘Come, sit with me a while and I’ll put you at ease’.”
