During the pandemic, Collins found that the money he had saved by not going out was used to buy books instead. Subsequently, he needed to create his perfect piece to sit on while he was reading. ‘The chair seemed like an appropriate direction,’ he says. ‘When I think of isolation where would I want to be? I want to be sat down. I want to be in lounge position. And I want to have my reading material around me. I’d want the chair to immerse me and have big surfaces that I could use to put things on.’ The chair also comes with a multi-functional companion piece, which can be used as a little side table or footrest.
