The 'SHO' chair is a stylishly efficient piece of decor for the modern home that boasts a dual-purpose design to make it as functional as possible in spaces that are smaller or multipurpose. Crafted with a metal frame that acts as the support for the accompanying mattress, the chair is capable of being shifted into a traditional laid-back seat or into a full recliner lounge. The frame itself could also be removed to offer guests the perfect spot to sleep for a short period when visiting to hide essential equipment in plain sight rather than away in a different room.
The 'SHO' chair is the design work of Pan Biwei and has won the Red Dot Design Concept: Best Of Award for 2018.
