The Hugging Chair, also called the OTO, is a chair designed for people with autism. Sometimes, people with autism experience needs for continuous sensory pressure. The OTO provides it by wrapping the user with soft, warm fabric. There's a control pad that allows the user to adjust the pressure to suit his/her unique needs at the time.
This is the work of LABAA, a firm based in Nantes, France, consisting of cabinetmaker Alexia Audrain and business partner Corentin Lemaitre. The pair have won a James Dyson Award for the design of this unique product.
