The chair has two configurations; an “Upright” configuration for more demanding applications such as working, studying or eating, and a “Lounge” configuration for leisure based activities and general relaxed postures.

The ulo chair was designed in response to the growing movement towards compact living spaces for sustainability.

The changeover between each configuration involves one swift movement in which the rear legs “bend” and the seat shell pivots about its front connection point. This simplistic movement was designed in response to the plethora of poor multifunctional products which currently exist. These products are always difficult to reconfigure, and often perform poorly in one/more position.

The rear legs are locked straight internally via 8mm PTFE coated, hardened steel shafts. In order to unlock the flexible sections in these legs the user presses down on the horizontal bar at the rear of the chair with their foot.

  6. Jill Jill Says:

    I have no comment until I see a video of you sitting in it in its upright position.

  7. Matt Matt Says:

    Yeah, it definitely looks like it will just collapse if someone over 20 pounds sits in it. I would need to see a 250 pound person sit in it before i am convinced that it is a good idea. Other than that though, it does look great and seems to work well.
