Walled-In Seating

Enter Your Own Private Space Sitting in the Xistera Armchair

Designed by Samuel Accoceberry and Jean-Louis Iratzoki, the Xistera Armchair puts up walls around this single-seater to create a very private space.

The chair is made with a canework back that resembles wooden screen panels. The frame surrounds the armchair in tall walls and is upholstered in thick, soft cushion. The Xistera Armchair is perfect for private relaxation and provides the ultimate comfort.

Implications - Something that has been taken away from many people in today's society is their privacy. Often times it is by choice due to social networking sites, but other times it is done in a sneaky way, such as hidden surveillance cameras. Businesses that create items made to give people the privacy that they deserve will be accepted by those who want to step out of the spotlight for just a moment and relax.
