Designer Kouros Maghsoudi has unveiled the Hug Chair, the latest addition to his Hug series, at NYCXDesign 2025. Known for his bold and unconventional approach to furniture design, Maghsoudi emphasizes its sculptural form and inviting presence with a low-lying silhouette, paired with thin metal legs. The legs serve the purpose of supporting the flat cushion seat, enclosed by bulbous, cylindrical arms upholstered in Italian leather.
The Hug Chair continues Maghsoudi’s exploration of hedonism in design, following previous releases such as the Hug Bed and Hug Tray. While the Hug Bed was explicitly crafted for multiple seating and reclining positions, the Hug Chair offers a more versatile experience, allowing users to interact with it in various ways. The chair’s internal framing system, made from FSC-certified wood, ensures durability while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic. Its curved arms and low, grounded form subtly nod to intimacy without feeling overly delicate, reinforcing its bold yet approachable design.
