Cursi - Contemporary Lounge Chair Inspired by Saudi Tent

About The Entry

Cursi takes inspiration from the traditional Saudi tent, a familiar symbol of hospitality, shelter, and gathering.

The idea was to bring the character of the tent into a modern piece of furniture without making the cultural references too obvious. The chair's minimal base draws from the simple structure of a tent, while the generously cushioned seat and two-part backrest create a comfortable, relaxed seating experience.

A subtle touch of traditional Sadu weaving adds a connection to Saudi craftsmanship, bringing warmth and character to the otherwise simple design. The contrast between the solid base and soft upholstery also reflects the way traditional tents combine a sturdy structure with flexible, comfortable materials.
