H 120cm x W100 cm x L100cm


copenhagen-based studio iskos-berlin (aleksej iskos and boris berlin) has designed the 'bunny chair' for danish manufacturer normann copenhagen.
the furniture piece is an interpretation of the classic ear chair, its enveloping form embracing whoever sits within it. the cheeky, sybaritic design 
is emphasized by tightly-strapped strings that are wrapped around its soft, upholstered body.

'we have always felt that the ear chair has somewhat been forgotten as a style of furniture. most people associate it with grandpa sitting
with his newspaper or with granny and her knitting. it was therefore exciting to reinterpret the chair in a fun way, with recollections of the
cute cuddly toys we had as children and of the soft 'bunny' now also for adults!

"sybaritic design is emphasized by tightly-strapped strings that are wrapped around its soft, upholstered body."
pointless gibberish.
