Kouros Maghsoudi’s Hug Chair Transforms Seating Into Personal Expression

Summary

• Kouros Maghsoudi debuted the Hug Chair at NYCXDesign 2025
• The chair features a low-lying, sculptural form with Italian leather arms
• Made in New York with FSC-certified wood, the chair is fully customizable with a price tag of $12,000 USD

At NYCXDesign 2025, Designer Kouros Maghsoudi revealed the newest piece in his Hug series – the Hug Chair. Renowned for his daring and unique furniture design style, Maghsoudi highlights this piece’s sculptural form and welcoming nature through its low-profile shape and slender metal legs. These legs provide necessary support to the flat cushion seat, encased by rounded, cylindrical armrests, which are upholstered in luxurious Italian leather.

The Hug Chair carries on Maghsoudi’s investigation into design hedonism, expanding upon earlier creations like the Hug Bed and Hug Tray. Unlike the multi-position seating of the Hug Bed, the Hug Chair provides a more adaptable encounter, enabling users to engage with it in numerous manners. The chair’s internal wooden framing, sourced from FSC-certified wood, guarantees durability while still exuding a contemporary, stylish look. Its curved arms and low, earthy form subtly suggest intimacy without appearing overly dainty, upholding its strong yet inviting design ethos.

Originating from New York City, the Hug Chair boasts a versatile array of colors, designs, and materials. It can be tailored to any color or type of leather you desire, making it an effortlessly stylish yet adaptable piece for modern settings. The chair’s comfortable cushion envelops the user in a warm, embracing hug, similar to the Hug Bed and Hug Tray. This consistent design aesthetic underscores Maghsoudi’s unique style, seamlessly combining playfulness with luxuriousness.

The Hug Chair debuted at an exclusive NYCXDesign exhibition, co-hosted by Dezeen, where attendees were encouraged to interact with the piece in unexpected ways. The piece is now available for order via Kouros Maghsoudi’s official
