Plover: The Multi-Purpose Chair Redefining Freedom

Eravolution Limited and THEi Students Unveil Innovative Design

Inspired by the freedom and adaptability of birds, Plover is a multi-purpose chair that breaks the boundaries of traditional seating. This innovative design, co-created by Eravolution Limited and a group of THEi product design students, embodies versatility and encourages various sitting postures to cater to different work cultures and environments.

The Plover chair is a testament to the free spirit of birds, symbolizing the duality of their solitary and social nature. Whether used individually or collectively for brainstorming, seminars, or co-creation, the Plover chair offers flexibility and comfort. Despite its delicate appearance, it is equipped with everything one needs, making it a perfect blend of form and function.

What sets Plover apart from other chairs is its ability to accommodate various sitting postures. It offers a conventional front-facing seating concept, a horse-riding back-to-front seating concept with a small tablet as wrist-support for texting, side seating with a small tablet as an armrest, high-level seating with the user on the tablet as a stool with a footrest, and a two-tier seating concept with users sitting on seat and tablet levels. This multi-purpose chair truly embodies the freedom of different sitting postures, catering to the needs of millennials and beyond.

The integrated tablet is a characteristic feature of the Plover Chair, offering a small work surface for users in different settings. Whether in a conventional classroom setting or a group discussion, the tablet provides a practical solution for users, enhancing their comfort and productivity. The Plover chair is not just a seating solution; it is a tool for collaboration and creativity.

Launched in 2019 at the China International Furniture Fair in Guangzhou, the Plover chair has since received recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Platinum A' Furniture Design Award in 2020, a prestigious accolade that recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs. This award is a testament to the Plover chair's contribution to societal wellbeing and its role in advancing the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology.

The Plover chair is more than just a piece of furniture. It is a symbol of freedom, adaptability, and innovation. It is a testament to the creative prowess of Eravolution Limited and the group of THEi students, who have successfully transformed the concept of seating. With its unique features and award-winning design, the Plover chair is set to redefine the future of furniture design.
