Art and Design by Lorna Zhang
Cat Chair

Project Brief

Inspired by the playful and vibrant spirit of my Siamese cat, Pidan, this spring chair is designed to delight both children—especially those with ADHD—and cat enthusiasts alike. The chair features a unique spring mechanism that allows gentle, controlled movement, promoting active sitting to help children stay focused and comfortable. Upholstered in soft, calming tones that echo the distinct coat of a Siamese cat, the chair combines aesthetic charm with sensory support. The carefully crafted wooden elements complement the upholstery, creating a cohesive and inviting design. This project is both a tribute to Pidan’s quirky, lovable nature and a thoughtful response to the needs of children who benefit from environments that balance motion, comfort, and calm.
