About
Soft, playful shapes characterise this family of upholstered pieces. Resting on two sturdy wooden legs and seamlessly connecting the seat and back, the Hippo Bar Chair is a bar version of the iconic Hippo Chair. The distinctive wooden profile acts as an almost architectural element that starkly contrasts with the rounded, soft back and seat. The iron footrest provides extra comfort.
The Hippo series is influenced by the Hippopotamus mammal drawing upon its barrel-shaped torsos. The characteristic wooden leg profile comes in four different oak finishes; natural, light smoked, dark smoked and black and the seat and back come in a variety of upholstery options.
