Description
The design is inspired by my childhood experiences horseback riding and a fascination with equine anatomy. As a design student, I was drawn to the idea that saddles represent some of humanity's earliest forms of seating, dating back to the domestication of horses. Through this design, I sought to capture the feel of both a lounge chair and the riding experience, creating a form that evokes those dual inspirations. For the structure of "Akhal-Teke", fiberglass is considered, and for the seat, fabric for leather can be employed.
