Perfect for creative corners, fashion studios, or even as a color-loving kids chair, this chair is for those who appreciate furniture that speaks—sometimes softly, sometimes loudly, but always with intention.

Big Game
Designer
Big Game is a Swiss design studio founded in 2004 by Augustin Scott de Martinville, Elric Petit, and Grégoire Jeanmonod.

Their work often features unexpected themes and a mix of uninhibited creativity, reflecting their motto: "from confrontation born progress".
Bold by Design. Safe by Nature.
Not every chair dares to look unfinished—this one does, beautifully.
The UF Astra Chair embraces an expressive tubular form, sculpted like a continuous gesture. Its soft, rounded curves aren't just for looks—they’re designed to minimize sharp edges and maximize safety, making it a perfect fit for modern homes, playful studios, or family spaces.
And with proportions informed by ergonomic principles, every curve supports comfort while staying true to its artistic core. It’s structure as statement—and comfort, cleverly disguised.
Negative Space, Positive Comfort.
It looks unfinished—but that’s the point.
The bold cutouts in the seat and backrest aren’t just for show—they're a celebration of negative space, inspired by industrial forms and bent-wire art. They invite curiosity and spark conversation.
But here’s the twist: every exposed surface is cushioned. Beneath the sculptural look lies a layer of resilient foam, offering a surprising softness where you least expect it. Like sitting on air—but supported with intention.
This isn’t just a chair. It’s a visual contradiction—and a physical comfort.
Seamless Style. Handcrafted to Touch.
Great design isn’t just what you see—it’s what you feel.
The UF Astra Chair is wrapped head-to-toe in a custom-blended fabric of polyester and nylon, chosen for its breathable softness, supple texture, and subtle sheen. But what truly sets it apart? The hand-applied, seamless wrap—a single continuous form with no visible stitching, unlike mass-market alternatives.
This is craftsmanship that disappears into simplicity. You won’t notice the fabric. You’ll just notice how good it feels.
