KOUROS MAGHSOUDI’S HUG CHAIR

Posted on 2025-04-28

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.

With a 24-hour Arabic index in addition to the 12-hour notation, the two pieces draw inspiration from military watch designs. Each clock is offered in minimal black and white plastic variants, following the sensibilities of Braun’s sleek design language.

NOAH release details for its third collaboration with Timex, showing a stripped-back design centered on with black and white lighthouse artwork. On the latest timepiece, NOAH founder Brendon Babenzien said “I’ve always loved lighthouses. I grew up not far from a lighthouse, which was a backdrop for many of my days at the beach. The timeless image of a lighthouse standing tall to lead the way felt like a great image for someone to carry with them throughout the day.”

In the spirit of these maritime monuments, Babenzien sees the lighthouse as a “symbol of strength and guidance every time you look down at your wrist.” With a 31x35mm rounded case, forgoing distracting numbers.
