The Mysa chair by Studio Kohlhass frames seating as a form of hug with a sculptural lounge seat that uses gentle curves and an enveloping profile to support the body. Designed for residential or hospitality interiors, the chair’s form is composed of a broad, semi-circular backrest that merges seamlessly with the seat pan, creating a continuous surface that encourages relaxed, postural support without sharp transitions. The upholstered shell is mounted on a concealed base that provides stability while preserving the visual lightness of the overall silhouette.
Materials for the MYSA chair include high-density foam and textile upholstery chosen for tactile comfort and durability, with a range of colour options that allow specification in coordinated interior schemes. The design emphasises ergonomics and calming presence by using soft edges and volumes that appear to wrap around the sitter. Studio Kohlhass calibrated the chair’s proportions to balance personal space with a compact footprint, making it suitable for lounge areas, private nooks, or communal waiting zones.
