Designed by Cate Högdahl and Nelson Ruiz Acal for Swedish furniture manufacturer Blå Station, the B25 Easy Chair celebrates Blå Station's 25th anniversary. Modeled after their earlier furniture pieces, it features a [round birch-wood ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinity-chair) and natural tanned leather.
