Angel: A Chair that Gives You Wings

A Heavenly Seating Experience

This chair, designed by Forough Pourahmad, draws inspiration from angels and their celestial wings, offering a unique and elegant seating experience that makes you feel like an angel.

Angels have long been depicted as benevolent beings, acting as intermediaries between heaven and earth, and providing guidance and protection to humans. Forough Pourahmad's Angel chair captures the essence of these celestial beings, giving users a sense of comfort and security.

The Angel chair stands out with its elegant curves and minimalistic design. When you sit on it, you can feel the chair embracing you, as if it has given you wings. The chair's design aims for lightness and simplicity, creating a visually striking piece of furniture.

While initially intended for stainless steel production, the Angel chair can also be produced using various materials and processes such as plastic, carbon fiber, or aluminum. This versatility allows the chair to adapt to different spaces and design preferences.

The chair's dimensions are as follows: Width 800 mm x Depth 450 mm x Height 850 mm, making it suitable for various settings, from residential to commercial spaces.

Forough Pourahmad's design process involved exploring the possibilities of traditional manufacturing methods as well as introducing new technologies. The chair's frame is made by bending and welding steel tubes together, resulting in a strong and durable structure.

Although still at the conceptual stage, small prototypes of the Angel chair have been produced, showcasing the designer's vision and creativity. The chair's unique blend of symbolism, comfort, and aesthetics sets it apart from traditional seating options.

The Angel chair has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2016. This prestigious award acknowledges the chair's exceptional creativity, technical characteristics, and innovative approach. The Angel chair truly embodies excellence and introduces a sense of wonder and amazement.

Experience the heavenly comfort and elegance of the Angel chair, and let it transport you to a world where you can feel like an angel.
