About

Defy convention. Sit in rebellion. The Ciuingam Chair is a playful provocation from the legendary trio of Italian designers — Jonathan De Pas, Donato D’Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi — icons of the Radical Design movement.

Named after the Italian phonetic for chewing gum, the Ciuingam Chair invites you to relax into its plush, elastic form — soft yet structured, nostalgic yet futuristic. With its bold contours and irreverent attitude, it transforms the act of sitting into a statement of style and satire.

Crafted with a wink to pop culture and an edge of architectural wit, this chair blurs the line between furniture and sculpture. Ideal for interiors that celebrate personality, provoke conversation, and push boundaries.
