Airbag lounge chair by Suppanen & Kolhonen for Snowcrash, Finland, 1990s

A striking Airbag lounge chair, designed by Finnish designers Ilkka Suppanen and Pasi Kolhonen for Snowcrash in the 1990s. The unconventional design combines a soft, oversized seat with bright yellow adjustable straps, creating a playful yet distinctly architectural appearance. The chair reflects the experimental spirit of 1990s Scandinavian design, challenging the traditional idea of upholstered seating through lightweight materials, flexibility and an almost industrial use of straps and fastenings. A highly recognizable and increasingly collectible piece of Finnish postmodern design. About the Designers.
