HOVER CHAIR
2018
The Hover Chair was created through a sponsored studio class during the Fall of 2018. Haworth sponsored the studio class with the brief of creating furniture for the outdoor office. I wanted to focus on chair seating because that is the one thing you really lose when you go sit outside to work. The comfort of your own chair.
The Hover Chair takes the movement of a task chair and reinterprets it for the outdoors. Inspired by the notion of the park, and the sense of play that follows–the chair uses bent steel tube to suspend a swing like seat in midair. Hovering just above the ground, the chair sits low and wide for an inviting profile.
By reinterpreting the classic typology of a cantilever chair with a contemporary graphic profile, the chair can be used both outdoors and in. With a residential sensibility, the chair is proportioned to make a comfortable lounge when working with a laptop, or just taking a break to relax.
