Svilen Gamolov knows that I like to sit on my food, which is why he came up with the 'Embrace' chair. This chair looks like a [potato chip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-chair), one of my favorite foods to sit on!

Okay so I don't like to sit on my food and Svilen Gamolov probably designed this chair for other reasons. There, I came clean. The 'Embrace' chair looks like the [comfiest chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge-by-layer) this side of the Mississippi. The next time I'm [furniture shopping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mysa), I'll be sure to keep an eye or two out for the 'Embrace' chair.
