Wellbeing-Harnessing Fan-Like Chairs

Futurewave Designs the Shanti Chair for Inner Design

The Shanti Chair is a uniquely formed furniture by Futurewave for Inner Design. The structure questions the concept of true privacy in a modern world and the Shanti aims to bring a touch of tranquility to the workspace in a seamless way. It is engineered to enclose around the user in a fan-like form.

This creates a sense of calm in the middle of a busy office. Some exterior details include the clean minimal hardware that is perfectly fused with the comforting Nordic inspiration. The material features light birch as the structural frame and Tyvek is used as the shade due to its sustainability and natural look. Additionally, this also controls the amount of light that is let into the space.
