Dezeen Showroom: Scandinavian brand Fora Form has released a chair created by design duo Skogstad and Wærnes that provides a playful alternative to conventional office seats.

With Bud chairs, the designers aimed to create a seat that facilitates a collaborative and comfortable working environment without being as visually dominant as typical office seating.

"We wanted Bud to be able to stand alone and to function in larger numbers, without creating a wall of backrests," said designer Fredrik Wærnes.

A metal frame – available in various leg formations, including with caster wheels – supports a padded seat cushion and a cylindrical wraparound backrest made from foam.

All elements come in a range of finishes, including a spectrum of fabrics and leather upholstery options, which are designed to be repaired and replaced as part of the brand's Fora Reform program.

The chair was launched in February at Stockholm Furniture Fair.
