# Ovalesque Chairs O&O Seat by Katoaka Design Brings Relaxation Back Down to Earth By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-12-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katoaka-design References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/12/16/ohh-and-ahh/) & [kataokadesign](http://www.kataokadesign.com/web/site.cgi?) Katoaka Design has come up with a chair that is incredibly [low to the ground](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kouros-maghsoudi), but gives your butt the feeling that it is up in the clouds. The name ‘O&O’ comes from the design that features the [letters seemingly overlapping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-chair). The only problem I can see with this chair is the fact that if you have a dog or a cat, they will be all over it.
