Beginning with its jubilant name, HAPPY Chair immediately captures the type of joie de vivre that we’d all like to harness in our homes. A sculpted dollop of polymer, HAPPY Chair looks like it melted into its present form. With a wonderful depression for the seat and an undulating curve for the backrest, HAPPY chair also secrets a hole beneath the chair that gets a welcomed surprise of color. The pink, aqua, lime translucent piece works in conjunction with the white molded material to create a playful juxtaposition: solid against lucent, color against achromatism, and convex against concave.

While some view the HAPPY Chair as derivative, reminiscent of Ron Arad and Brodie Neill, others will see it as a fresh take on a classic form.
