# Chic Double-Duty Chair Designs Abana Bilbao's Stylish Chair Design Boasts Modernist Qualities By Kalin Ned | Published 2020-02-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-chair References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/abana/reves-armchair-your-spot-in-open-public-spaces) & [abanabilbao](https://www.abanabilbao.com/en/) This stylish chair by Abana Bilbao has an interesting aesthetic. Fusing contemporary sensibilities with modernist minimalism, the Reves Armchair is a curious hybrid that is "midway between [Poltrona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archibald-armchair) and a normal dining chair." When creating the silhouette, Abana Bilbao was focused on producing a piece that can satisfy a number of functions. As a result, the stylish chair has two configurations, which the company playfully dubbs "reading mode" and "talking mode," signaling that the design provides some form of privacy and comfort, but that it can also be configured for social situations. Albana Bilbao reaches this delicate balance with upholstery that can be folded up or down. The stylish chair is made with a focus on sustainability, boasting an [oil-treated beech structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair). The company makes this piece available in a few colorways.
