The Hug Chair by Gabriella Asztalos
Gabriella Asztalos has sent us images of the Hug Chair she has designed.

.
Description from the designer:
The Hug Chair is an exclusive furniture design, which combines the original spiral shape and the values of a hug. A unique uni-body circular structure connects both seats together allowing two people to sit face-to-face and thus creating an immediate intimate interaction. Through this physical connection, you feel socially and emotionally connected with the person sitting on the opposite side. The upper “half-pipe” which bends above the heads creates a highway of thoughts and a chain of emotions. In this way you are interconnected within the same circle and the focus is always on the other person, exactly what a hug is about. The chair’s face-to-face interaction allows you to instantly break away from the crowd. The exceptional shape and the amazing acoustics of the Hug Chair creates, even in large and crowded rooms or halls, an immediate, safe and intimate ambience for those who desire space for a private moment.

interesting but in the end not that practical & undoubtedly big $$$$$. Should have lit it on fire & had a lion jump through it for the main photo

Simply wonderful; wonderfully simple.

If it is a hug chair, especially designed to be used by two people… why is there no picture showing it as intended??

looks a little to much like Victor Aleman’s “Loopita Chair” presented in 2007… I let you compare…

I agree, it looks very similar. And what is that silly magician doing by the chair?

Beautiful & elegant design. I’d love to have one if I could afford..

check the link Giogio posted, eerily similar. Same wood/fabric combo even.

i did check, but that one reminds me of Fabio Novembre’s “And System” from 2002…. manufactured by cappellini in different materials and colours…

This one is just a single turning chair can be used in private homes…more practical..

I prefer the white fibre glass version of this chair. That is cooler!
