"Who Are You Chair" : Luxury in simplicity

For Olga Engel, each piece must be charged with meaning. Whether for telling a story or expressing an emotion, every piece must be filled with these essential elements. 
 "The 'Who Are You' armchair collection is my thoughts on how people react when they meet for the first time. We don't think about it, but we automatically question ourselves about the other person, asking 'Who are you?' in our mind. Like every individual, these three armchairs have identical elements, but each displays an emotion of its own. 

"As a designer, I was interested in how, using the same shape, you can give chairs different characters and express different emotions."
WHO ARE YOU I is open and friendly.
WHO ARE YOU II is enthusiastic and emotional.
WHO ARE YOU III is calm and restrained.
