Dohui Kim designs the special Dohui chair, which embodies a twisted structure reminiscent of a pretzel. It has an artful look that pushes the creative concept of the seating position, which mimics a common floor chair.
When sitting on the floor, people usually take on several positions and the designer notes this, explaining that it is something that she based on a "friendly and affectionate" feeling that is representative of herself. At the base of the chair, it has a circular shape and supports an elongated body that twists around where the body can rest. The legs curve around the lower section of the chair, the bottom seats at the circle, and the back rests against the top section.
