Designed to combine the welcoming feel of an enveloping seat with the clean lines of modern design, the Koala tub chair by Scab offers a contemporary take on a classic furnishing piece. Its internal structure features a highly durable technopolymer core encased in a generous layer of polyurethane foam, ensuring superior ergonomic comfort while maintaining soft, well-defined contours. Supporting the sculptural upholstered body is a dynamic 4-leg frame made of Ø 25 mm tubular steel, with an exposed linear profile that accentuates the seat's sleek, upward-reaching silhouette. Designed for indoor use, Koala combines aesthetics and sustainability—featuring a disassemblable design for proper recycling—making it versatile for both residential spaces and hospitality-focused contract environments.
