The Squishy Sticks Chair may look hard and unforgiving at first glance, but boasts a yielding surface that could be likened to classic cushions. Except, of course, that this 'cushion' isn't filled with fluffy cotton. Instead, the surface is made up of a bunch of small branches that depress individually when a person puts pressure on it.
Designed by Annie Evelyn of Brooklyn-based company New Colony Furniture, the Squishy Sticks Chair is stunning to look at. Although out of its element, the wood gives it a whimsical organic appeal that many will appreciate. Beautifully modern, it can be mixed and matched with New Colony Furniture's other 'squishy' seating to create a unique dining room collection. It will certainly get people talking.
