Chairs

Smile

Smile is a signature series of chairs with a focus on functionality and a human-centred design ethos that creates positive emotions and enhances everyday experiences.

Smile brings people together

To quote Victor Borge, the Danish pianist and comedian, “A smile is the shortest distance between two people.”

And that is exactly what the Smile chair is. A chair that brings joy through its shape, colour and variety. Just look at the edge of the backrest, the line of the seat and the handle - you will see a smile and feel positive about the challenges ahead, both big and small.
