For the SINN chair, Canadian designer and architect Alan Hung drew inspiration from the frame of a bicycle, renowned for its distinctive triangulation that embodies structural integrity and balance. This concept is physically reflected in the chair’s design: its body consists of two legs forming a triangular structure, seamlessly connecting with the armrest and backrest. The Taiwanese name SINN translates to “frame” or “body,” referring its structure and paying homage to the designer’s native language.

SINN is available in two versions: with a wooden seat for a natural, minimalist aesthetic or with an upholstered seat for added comfort. The upholstered option stands out with a shape reminiscent of a hamburger – a soft, rounded cushion that seamlessly transitions into the wooden base, creating a cohesive and tactile design. The removable cushion allows for easy customization between the two styles.

As Alan Hung explains: “SINN is like the modern bicycle – stylish and dynamic, yet thoughtfully engineered to provide enduring comfort. It’s a chair that lives in harmony with its environment, offering both beauty and utility.”
