We have just come across this beautifully designed chair by the Hungarian born former ballet dancer, Gabriella Asztalos: The Hug Chair. Love at first sight . . .  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 Hug Chair is a unique eye catching design with high comfort factor, contemporary features, emotional appearance, exceptional quality craftsmanship and durability. Its face-to-face interaction allows you to break away instantly 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.

The Hug Chair's remarkable aesthetics make it a desired item. People are not simply buying a chair. They are buying a statement where design and intimacy come together.

The Hug Chair is handcrafted and available in three versions: White Lacquer, Black Lacquer and Walnut Wood. The Black and White versions are more contemporary and the Walnut Wood is more of classic style. All editions are upholstered with top quality real leather and the color of the leather can be chosen to be any shade you wish. The chair stands on a stainless-steel base that can fully rotate.
