Oruha
The design presents a seat conceived as a public secret base, offering personal refuge within shared environments. Its structure balances sculptural presence with functional comfort, supporting extended use and social interaction. Curved surfaces and carefully proportioned elements create a sense of enclosure while maintaining openness. Natural finishes enhance durability, ease of maintenance, and graceful aging, allowing the piece to integrate into everyday living spaces while preserving tactile warmth.
