The Haragana is a lounge chair made from bent steel tubes for the structure and cork disks for seating. The chair is designed for the user to remain seated and observe their surroundings. The outline of the design resembles an armchair, signalling relaxation and calmness. The reduced structure gives it a light and airy design, that fits in indoor spaces without claiming too much attention and space. The simple graphical cork seating disks provide contrast to the more complex tubular structures.
