EFG, a conceptual chair is a symbiosis of a school chair and a comfortable home sofa. It gives homage to J. Leonard’s classic X202 master’s chair (1947), while added pillows suggest the warmth and cosiness of home. This chair symbolizes a condition of ‘new normal’, a comfort of online schooling, but it also speaks in favour of the resilience of the classic model. The name of the project reflects a continuation (abcd) – ’EFG’, which refers to the arrival of something new.
