Instead of thinking new ways to make existing chair designs interesting, functional and environmentally-friendly, Martina Decker and Peter Yeadon decided to go down a less traveled path with the OOoo Chair.
Stepping away from traditional seats, the OOoo Chair breaks the idea of sitting down to its most fundamental action. Replacing the need for actual furniture, the OOoo Chair is actually embedded within floors, eliminating the need for more 'stuff.'
