Hopper Chair's signature double curves create an energizing and friendly gesture, which recalls a joyful spirit of hopping. The welcoming form invites its user to sit back and relax with smooth curves turning into comforting armrests and backrests. The profile of the curved frames is fillet where the body is in contact. On the other hand, one strong edge of the profile remains to enhance the overall gesture. When not in use, Hopper Chair still highlights the space with its energetic form.
