Shy: A chair with personality

The Shy chair, a chair based on my own personality.

What makes a person shy?

Well, they are shy because they feel uncomfortable at certain moment.

And in other times, they are just trying to be normal.

Moreover, we have seen chair that's loud, chair that's playful;

then, what does a shy chair look like?

Shy chair is designed with longevity in mind where you can easily change the seat leather along with its back cushion as you wish. When you look at the chair from the front view, it may look just like any other simple design chair. However, when you look at the chair from the side, the inner structure is exposed which is inspired by the Farnsworth house. And by revealing the inner structure, the chair brings out its shy effect like a mimosa plant, curling up itself. The overall color acts as if the chair is blushing.

What makes the chair so special? The Shy chair is designed where you can easily assemble, which you can also change the seat leather along with its back cushions as you wish. The chair legs and the inner structure are made out of oak wood, then on top of that is saddle leather, and then you can put the cushion on top of it. There will also be a second version coming up soon which is made out of walnut. The overall look is in a minimal design, it's quiet but still noticeable.
