Cocoon Dining Chair: a sculptural embrace evoking tropical comfort

Mar, 2025 • 2 Min. Read

ATBO's Cocoon Dining Chair is a creation that captures the essence of comfort in a sculptural and enveloping silhouette. Designed by the talented Kevin Hviid, this dining piece manages to mentally transport us to the idyllic beaches of the Maldives, evoking the feeling of relaxed luxury and well-being that characterizes the most exclusive resorts.

Its name, which means “cocoon” in English, perfectly reflects the experience it offers: a cozy embrace that invites us to immerse ourselves in moments of calm. Cocoon's soft, sculptural forms manage to recreate that pleasant feeling of tropical comfort that we all long for in our homes, turning every meal into an experience of disconnection.

Balance between esthetics and functionality

The structure and legs in oak wood with a matt lacquered finish provide an elegant base that contrasts harmoniously with the seat cushion upholstered in fabric or leather. This combination of materials not only enhances its visual appeal, but also ensures durability and ease of integration into various environments.

What truly distinguishes the Cocoon Dining Chair is its ergonomic design. Its armrests, which extend fluidly along the backrest, create a protective environment that invites prolonged table seating. The strategically distributed cushioning offers a softness that contrasts with the firmness needed to maintain proper posture during meals.

Designer Kevin Hviid has succeeded with Cocoon Dining Chair in transcending the mere functionality of a dining chair to create a piece that brings character and personality to the space. His approach, which fuses the warmth of natural materials with contemporary lines, results in a chair that is both an object of aesthetic desire and a promise of exceptional comfort.

With Cocoon Dining Chair, ATBO demonstrates its commitment to a design that not only responds to practical needs but also aims to enrich our daily experience, transporting us momentarily to that tropical paradise we all carry in our memories.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
