*컬러풀 암체어 [ Claesson Koivisto Rune ] Hug_Arflex

The armrests of these chairs by Swedish designers Claesson Koivisto Rune reach out as though asking for a hug.

The Hug range by Claesson Koivisto Rune for Italian brand Arflex features deep, thin arms that angle upwards and outwards.

"The friendly and welcoming gesture, seen most clearly in the ‘open-armed’ position of the armrests, is meant as a universal invitation, saying 'come, sit with me a while and I’ll put you at ease,'" say the designers.

The upholstered seat, backrest and arms sit on a wooden plinth supported by legs in a contrasting colour

The Hug collection includes a dining chair, a lower side chair and a high-backed club chair that's more enclosed.
