'coffee chair' by sunhan kwon'


'coffee chair' by korean designer sunhan kwon takes its name from it's form.
breaking away from the general symmetry of a chair, the seat appears like a silhouette of
a coffee mug on a saucer, whose handle can be used as a hook for draping a jacket
or hanging a bag. the design satisfies both elements of functional and decorative design,
and is intended for use in cafés, restaurants etc.


'coffee chair' comes in three colors

it measures 547 x 470 x 810 mm in size.

this is what design should be!
Splendid for example in a coffee bar.

A beautiful presentation for a highly criminogenic design! Police advice internationally and research by DACRC , prove that the back of the chair is among the worst places to hang your belongings in terms of vulnerability to bag theft when in out, about and in coffee bars.

The UK Design Council and Starbucks in London Victoria are currently piloting some tasty real-world alternatives, including the Stopthiefchair and the Grippaclip , that offer the customer more ways to care for their things and be cared for.
