The redesign of the WINGBACK as the WINGBACK CHAISE comes to TWENTY. ⁠ ⁠ A long time ago we designed the interior of @sohohouse and we thought we would modernise the traditional wingback chair by tidying up the silhouette. We didn’t realise for a while that people were using the wings to make discreet phone calls and by default we made a traditional typology of a chair fit for the modern co-working/play-space everywhere. We decided it was now time to push this thinking further.⁠ ⁠ Could we add more comfort or functionality? Should we make the wings even more pronounced? Surely a rotating pedestal base would add to the character and ease of use? Could we extend the width of the arms enough to balance a laptop or a drink or extend the seat to form a chaise longue hybrid? Here we show ourselves as generally trying to improve our product and unable to stop iterating and fiddling.
