Hem’s monolithic Hunk lounge chair will sweep you off your feet at first glance – maybe far from sensible but very much sensuous, the chair is made for sensational relaxation. The deliberately exaggerated and playful silhouette of this utterly extra lounge chair designed by Kwangho Lee is not the only one of its charming features, as the chair, finished with sumptuous bouclé fabric, also contains a unique surprise: the structure made entirely of natural materials consists of a plywood frame and a sturdy yet soft filling with natural latex, wool, and coconut fibre.
