As cushioning and comfortable as can be while still maintaining vital support for the back and the user's posture, the Ro Armchair is a luxurious seat that works well in both a living room setting as well as in the workplace.
Completely embracing and inviting, the seat features a tall back that supports the head for easy reclining and lounging, making it easy to take a quick power nap without leaving your station. The wide wings almost hug the body and form a curved shell around the user so that they feel a sense of privacy and protection while sitting in this sofa-like chair.
Large and dramatic in its shape, the Ro Armchair, designed by Jaime Hayon, is a sculptural seat style that prioritizes comfort.
