• The HÅG Tion grew out of an intensive research project that spanned seven European countries to interview a variety of people in their everyday work lives. The goal was to search for signs and patterns that could inform the desires of a shifting office culture. Inquiries span from the adaptability of our seating environments to circular design for manufacturing to the psychological impacts of our workspaces.

Insight

The insights gained from this foundational research led to intriguing departure points that addressed the diversity of workplace settings. With these valuable inspirations gained, a series of workshops were organised to visualise the findings. A trio of design studios - Anderssen & Voll, Big-Game, along with Hunting & Narud - was assembled to collectively brainstorm, prototype, and discuss ideas of work and the office. They questioned how the future of our workspaces can respect the autonomy and humanity of the individual yet maintain a sense of community.

  • With these intentions the workshops were filled with laughter and exchange of stories, a spirited gathering of designers and thinkers that meshed into a collaborative network that inspired each other. What emerged was an idea of a chair foretelling the post pandemic world, and a chair of our times.

HÅG Tion

HÅG Tion is based on a classic silhouette of the office chair, a typology which has existed with us since the conception of office culture. There is a simplicity to this reference, an enduring quality of a form that we can place our trust in. Yet what differentiates the HÅG Tion is its material palette, with customisable selections that range from Flokk’s recycled plastics, choices of textured fabrics and the durability of wood. The personalisation of the chair allows the HÅG Tion to virtually fit into any context, from the formal boardroom, to the eclectic excitement of shared workspaces, to the private comforts of our home.

The range of material options come together in an authentically conscious manner, intended to be assembled and disassembled with ease, the materials can be individually sorted in sync with circular design principles. Cycling between chair and environment, the ability of HÅG Tion to phase between different work environments speaks to the adaptability required by our shifting office cultures. From private to public HÅG Tion can follow suit, fitting to whichever environment we find ourselves working in.
