Kite Balloon Chair Chair with Ottoman

An armchair designed for common spaces in offices and hotels. There are numerous armchairs and sofas for lobbies and lounges, but those for narrow spaces such as corridors, elevator lobbies, and entrances are difficult to find. Therefore, a compact chair was devised to fit in those niches, for passersby to rest in for a spell or in which to have a casual conversation. Attempts to make an armchair small normally lead one to think of the gradual elimination of the backrest to create a bench-like furniture piece. But casting the backrest as the star to which the seat is adjoined yields a design less about sitting and more about leaning against a grand backrest. Such a design takes up minimal space while offering to the chair鈥檚 occupant a bit of calm and security. The backrest and seat are independent parts.
