y.O Zmart Chair Chair

Inspired by the Wassily Chair and Corbusier’s Sling chair the y.O Zmart Chair has the unique ability to convert from a reclining position to an upright dining position in one motion without latches or hardware using only proportion, geometry and gravity while remaining in one piece as one object. The convertible chair design started with inspiration from early 20th century furniture designs and ended with this patented design creating a new type of chair. In either position the y.O Zmart Chair will be there to support you.
