Curvy Couple Chairs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Ilian Milinov's Hug Chair is Designed for Clingy Couples

— March 17, 2011 — Art & Design
Ilian Milinov's Hug Chair is the perfect seating piece for couples who can't stand to be apart from one another. Currently, the go-to piece of furniture for couples is the couch, but that could all change thanks to Milinov's Hug Chair, which aims to bring couples together with four legs and no cushions.

Milinov's Hug Chair is designed to be used with one person on each arm. The chair actually looks like it could seat two people comfortably, something most chairs can't and won't do. The hug chair is currently only a concept, which is terrible news to people like me, who really want a couch alternative. Milinov, let's make this happen. See this interestingly designed chair for yourselves in the featured gallery!
