A wooden chair at home is often considered as an undesirable sitting for a long period of time. Due to its hardness, many tend to buy a cushion, or even just throw a blanket over.

The Wrapper Chair, with bars across on each section, allows one to weave the blanket of their choice. The self-upholstering notion allows the chair to be appreciated at all seasons from plush blankets to summer blankets, being able to interchange between the interior shifts.
