Cocoon chair: sit into it, not on it

An enveloping shell armchair. The chair's exterior is a complete curved shell—egg-shaped, spherical, or bowl-shaped—tapering upwards and forwards from the seat, enclosing the sitter's back and sides, leaving only the front open. The outer shell is smooth fiberglass or high-gloss lacquer, in pure white or dark color; the inner side is soft upholstery, in wool fabric or velvet, in rust-orange or mustard yellow. The base is a central swivel base, a chrome-plated disc and column, allowing the chair to rotate, with no four legs. The chair is placed alone in a corner, next to a saucer-shaped floor lamp. Avoid: using four independent chair legs, making the backrest a flat upright back, eliminating the enveloping feel of the shell, using an open-style armchair design.

一張包覆式的殼體單椅。椅子的外形是一個完整的曲面殼體——蛋形、球形或碗形——從座面向上向前收攏,把坐著的人的背與兩側包住,只留正前方開放。殼體的外側是光滑的玻璃纖維或高光烤漆,顏色是純白或深色;內側是柔軟的軟包,面料是羊毛布或絨布,顏色是鏽橘或芥末黃。底部是一個中央的旋轉底座,鍍鉻的圓盤與柱,讓椅子可以轉動,沒有四支腳。椅子被單獨放在角落,旁邊是一盞碟形落地燈。避免:使用四支獨立的椅腳、把椅背做成平直的靠背、消除殼體的包覆感、使用開放式的扶手椅造型。
