As long as a chair is something I can sit on and Im pretty comfortable, Id take any kind of chair. But of course there are designs and concepts of chairs that bring a different dimension to a functional piece of furniture. Some of those well-designed chairs though can be quite uncomfortable, particularly the backrest.Designers: Gerhardt Kellerman and Ana RelvaoYay is a chair thats part of Gumpos office furniture line that has a pretty unconventional backrest but one that seems to be a comfortable one despite its shape. Its a compact upholstered statement chair with its seat, backseat, and legs, all covered in fabric, presenting a soft, textile unit in one seemingly continuous shape.The backrest is intelligently padded so despite its stick like shape, it is surprisingly comfortable as it molds to your back because of the texture. It is also a proportioned compact chair that can fit into any seating environment, whether its at a table, as a stand-alone chair, a working chair, or wherever you need a comfortable seat.Despite its minimalist look and its muted color, the Yay chair is pretty eye-catching and is marketed as a statement chair. It goes well with Gumpos other chair, the Ohh with the more traditional backrest and the two are meant to compliment each other and the other furniture of the brand.The post Yay statement chair from Gumpo gives a unique but comfortable backrest first appeared on Yanko Design.
