Just looking at the ‘Chest’ chair makes me think of every evil character that has ever set foot in the streets of my imagination or real-life adventures. It looks so daunting, that if an innocent old grandmother owned it, I would be compelled to appraise her suspiciously before trusting anything she said or did.
Conceived by lovakian Designer Ivan Venkov, the ‘Chest’ chair evokes a sense of sci-fi retroness. Featuring leather and chrome finishes, it certainly looks as comfortable as it does intimidating.
