The Waarmakers 'Ingrid' chair is a comfort-focused furniture solution for professionals who are working from home and seeking out a way to make the experience more intuitive. The built-to-measure seat works by being used as a conventional place to sit during the day, but can also be positioned onto a workstation to be used when standing. The piece can be used as a coffee or side table when not in use, while the durable design is also suited for use as a step stool.
The Waarmakers 'Ingrid' chair is crafted using laser-cut birch plywood that has been formed into a grid that enhances both the structural integrity as well as the aesthetic appeal of the piece. The furniture piece speaks to the increased demand for ways to make the at-home office more comfortable in the continued shift towards permanent work from home scenarios.
