Inspired by the gentle curves and protective forms found in natural coves, the Cove Chair was designed in response to a brief for hospitality seating that feels welcoming, durable, and refined. The design blends organic inspiration with practical considerations, using sustainable materials, a disassemblable frame, and weather-resistant finishes to suit indoor and outdoor environments alike. Available in both armed and armless versions, the chair offers flexibility for a range of settings and uses. Its enveloping backrest provides a subtle sense of shelter, while clean joinery and tactile surfaces create an approachable elegance. Balancing softness with structure, the Cove Chair invites moments of pause, whether dining, in a lobby, or under an open sky.
