Flamingo Chair
From concept to 1:1 prototype  

The Flamingo chair explores a new approach to seating, resting, and the way we interact with our bodies while taking a break. Inspired by the resting behaviour of birds, particularly the flamingo and its subtle shifts of balance from one leg to another, the design encourages movement rather than prolonged stillness.

Constructed from welded metal, with foam and leather removable covers, the chair features a movable knee rest that rotates 360 degrees around the central seat base. This feature invites the user to shift their weight, adjust their posture, and move naturally while resting, as well as multiple possibilities and positions to rest in.

By rethinking the traditional idea of sitting, the project challenges the assumption that rest must mean stillness, exploring a more conscious relationship between movement, balance, and comfort.
