Inspired by mammals in the order Chiroptera, the BatWings Chair has a creepy factor that is nevertheless stylish and sophisticated at the same time. It features the same webbed shape of bat's wing, for which it has been named, but does not hold onto the thin, veiny quality nor does it incorporate the bones that give the real wings their structure. Instead, the BatWings Chair is clean and simple, only subtly referencing its inspiration.
Designed by Yu Haotian, the BatWings Chair is sculptural with a Gothic appeal. Even the base of the stunning seat has an animalistic quality to it that adds to its overall theme. The BatWings Chair is available in various finishes and colorways.
