The iChair

Part of the Reserved Seating Series, the iChair is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your higher self. It challenges the idea that productivity defines our worth, encouraging us instead to measure our lives by the depth of our presence. Designer Ralph Caplan once observed: “A chair is the first thing you need when you don’t really need anything, and is therefore a peculiarly compelling symbol of civilization.” I couldn’t agree more and so the brief for the iChair is simple yet profound — Quiet the mind, still the body, and recognize yourself as a limitless, omnipresent superpower.  

The design of the iChair reflects this philosophy through radical simplicity. Each element is intentionally pared down to what feels most essential—an embodiment of the idea that less can reveal more.

An Apple AirTag, encased in a transparent housing, symbolizes the process of discovery—a metaphor for locating and strengthening one’s connection to the higher self. The phrase Space for Dialogue on the back reminds the occupant that access to inner guidance is always available. The typography on the front, SOURCE represents the universal intelligence that lives within each of us and is available in 3 bespoke colorways (fire, air or charcoal). A metal plate, visible when the iChair stands upright, contains usage details and comes in a silver magnesium finish. The complete series consists of 10 chairs, each identified by a number sequence 0–9. An oval line surrounding the number indicates the chair’s position in the production process. A natural sheepskin overlay—optional but luxurious—adds warmth and comfort, softening the minimalist form while reinforcing the ritual of sitting.

Each iChair is priced individually, arrives fully assembled and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Just click here when you’re ready to take a seat!
