Every design is created from an angle that focuses on comfortable elements, showcased through its [chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henn), which serves as the majority offerings of the capsule. The collection features a bar stool with a backrest, a chair, a tall stool, a side table and a short stool, side table, wall shelf, and a dining table.
