Empathy Chair
Design by: V-Architecture

Introduction

V-Architecture practices experimental sustainable architecture, with a focus on nature and cultural identity.

Practice Perspective

V-Architecture approaches architecture with the goal of not merely providing shelter, but above all, awakening emotions. Each project is designed not only to fulfill functional needs but also to evoke a sense of connection and empathy among people. This approach is similarly applied in the studio’s chair designs.

Approach Concept

This chair is designed not merely for sitting, but to “awaken.” Its structure is intentionally crafted to be unstable and off-balance when used by a single person. Stability is only achieved when two people sit together, an act that requires sharing and empathy. The concept is likened to two people on a boat, where unity is necessary to move forward.
