The Hello Easy Chair, with its memorable name and distinctive shape, could easily be mistaken for a classic chair design. It was, however, designed in this century, although it has an unmistakable Scandinavian style.
The chairs was designed by Busk and Hertzog and according to one of its designers, its shape is “round, open and happy like a mouth calling out to people, asking them to come closer.” The chair was commissioned by the Danish Broadcast Corporation who wanted a chair especially for Kylie Minogue, which could be another selling point if you like the Australian pop star, but I wouldn’t hold it against the chair if you don’t.
The Hello Easy Chair is available from Heal’s, priced £895 with a choice of dark lilac, violet or anthracite coverings.
