> coringa chair

highly commended in the work category

Coringa is a two-height chair for working, reading and relaxing that is multifunctional and playful. It aims to save space in the domestic environment by combining in a single form the functions of an easy chair with an desk chair. Due to the shape of the arms, there is no need for any mechanism to transform this piece of furniture. The user turns the upright chair into an easy chair by simply rocking the piece on its arms. Aimed at people living and working in small spaces, including those in student accommodation.
