To celebrate the launch of the new Satellite chair, the first solo exhibition in Sweden of Richard Hutten Studio was on display in the Offecct showroom. “Drawing Circles” showcased a selection of our design all related to the circle, a geometrical shape that is very important in Richard’s designs.

Satellite – easy chair 


Following a brief from Offecct, we set out to design an easy chair for activity based spaces. The result is Satellite, a spinning easy chair for a digital lifestyle with high comfort and round playful features. Richard Hutten: ”Architects always draw circles to indicate where to position chairs on their floor plans. Those architect drawings are the starting point for this chair. The top view of Satellite is a perfect circle. To me the circle is the most elegant form: it is without direction, has no bulky sides, no beginning, no ending”.

Satellite marks the third successful collaboration between Offecct and our studio. Intense technical elaborations has led to a highly innovative easy chair that is sure to enable focused work and creative meetings. Satellite sits on three legs with a side table attached which can orbit around the seating 180 degrees, making it fit for left handed as well as right handed persons. The size and use of material has been scaled back without compromising the comfort and functionality of the easy chair. “We did a lot of research to determine the right size: it should look inviting, comfortable and generous, but at the same time light, compact and flexible to move around, which is a contradiction. But we succeeded to make a chair that balances on this line,” continues Richard Hutten.
