Familial
Chair for Shiraz University
Because today's living spaces have become smaller, designing space-saving, multi-purposes furniture can benefit everyone. To achieve this, the Familial Chair – which both children and adults can comfortably use – was designed. Children, with their delicate bodies and spirit, and adults, with their need for functionality, can enjoy this chair. Its ergonomic construction, together with its functionality, meets both objectives of aesthetics and performance.

Project Duration

Operation Flow
