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.

YESTADT ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN Award winning Principal, Rick Yestadt, founded Yestadt Architecture and Design on the premise that good design creates value and that value has the potential to transcend time. Prior to founding Yestadt Architecture and Design, Rick Yestadt trained and worked with the renowned Architect Marcel Breuer of the Bauhaus School of Design. This unique pivotal experience served as an important foundation for Rick’s approach to both architecture and design. Through this design perspective, a methodology was born to resolve complex design parameters into their simplest forms while engaging proportion, balance and aesthetics. This design philosophy has grown to be reflected in the all work and design of Yestadt Architecture and Design.
