The 'Goyo' chair has been designed by Lee Ye Chan as a meditative piece of furniture for the home that highlights an unexpected form to support the sitter in an avant-garde way. The chair is characterized by its sculptural base that's accented by a rounded steel upper that's inspired by the form of a Tibetan singing bowl. This prioritizes a calming, healing effect that encourages the sitter to take a meditative approach when relaxing.
The 'Goyo' chair is meant to engulf the sitter and help them to avoid the distractions that might be present in the space. This gives the chair a striking form that's perfect for placement in the modern living room, but would also be right at home within a workspace.
