When choosing cushioned chairs to decorate our living room, studio or bedroom, we tend to focus on their frontal aesthetics. Cushioned chairs are usually placed next to a wall or in a corner and they're mainly used to relax reading a good book or chatting with friends. When unused or left on their own, they may lose their significance. In 2018, design cushioned chairs claim their roles as protagonists in the house. They want to be placed in the middle of a room, showing their backs too: curvy, colourful, graphic and elaborated.

Gaia Giotti, Giona Scarselli and Cristina Razzanelli from studio E-GGS play with customisation and design Iola for Minforms, firm with an ironic spirit. Iola is a modern cushioned chair full of life, with playful, soft yet solid lines. Its main feature is the possibility to personalise the cover, which can be elegant velvet or a simpler fabric with geometric patterns or bright colours. It’s a response to minimal style that combines simple and neat lines with eccentric ‘clothes’.

Dutch design firm Moooi (founded by Marcel Wanders and Casper Vissers) chose Italian designer Luca Nichetto to reinterpret his own concept of cushioned chair.

Its lines and colours were inspired by the shapes of typical venetian boats docked along the canals. The countless fabric combinations give life to decorations that recall historic boats and abstract contemporary geometric drawings.
