The classic ear chair type brings a bit of nostalgia into the design of a room, and while there is value in upholding that aesthetic, there is something to be said for treating traditional forms to a contemporary reinvention. The Bunny Chair by Iskos-Berlin maintains many of the features of the wingback chair, but it expresses them in a bold an comparatively youthful way.
The cushy seat, the soft armrests, the plushy backrest and the projecting headrests all embody the bulging forms of seemingly overstuffed upholstered fabric. The chubby appearance of the Normann Copenhagen armchair is further emphasized by the tight rope binding, causing an exaggerated swelling of the piece. With its plump profile, the Bunny Chair by Iskos-Berlin was inspired by the manufacturing of stuffed animals, introducing a playful quality to a stuffier style of seating.
