Featured Award-Winning Designs of Ruya Akyol

Primary Function

Chair

Description

The Tux family is crafted with a dual focus on both style and functionality. Taking inspiration from the sophisticated elegance of tuxedo suits, the chair's two-piece structure is specifically engineered to offer optimal support to the lower back. This design aims to preserve the natural curvature of the spine, preventing discomfort often associated with extended periods of sitting. Additionally, the structure discreetly conceals the mechanical elements beneath the seat, contributing to the chair's distinctive character and distinguishing it from conventional office chairs.

Pouf

Description

The Tiramisu collection combines function and style. Inspired by the dessert, the collection is named Tiramisu, directly translated as "pull me up," signifying "cheer me up" in Italian. This dual meaning inspires the design, aiming to bring positive vibes to the space and enhance user-friendliness with its easily graspable and movable silhouette. The Tiramisu collection is available in various sizes, offering options with upholstered or wooden table tops, serving functions as both coffee table and pouf.
