New LOVOT Chair Takes Center Stage
In a move that's set to excite robot enthusiasts and design aficionados alike, GROOVE X Inc. is launching a limited edition of their popular LOVOT Chair. This specially crafted chair, tailored for the beloved LOVOT robot, will be available for pre-order at the LOVOT POP UP Store located in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi starting August 1, 2025.
Collaborating with renowned furniture makers Karimoku and innovative design firm Takram, this edition of the LOVOT Chair has been crafted using rich walnut wood, showcasing a design that blends elegance with functionality. After its successful debut last year, this new iteration aims to enhance the experience of cherishing memories with your LOVOT, making every moment spent together a little more special.
Award-Winning Design
The LOVOT Chair is not just a piece of furniture; it is an award-winning design that has snagged the prestigious 2025 Red Dot Design Award in the Furniture category. The jury praised it for its intentionally minimalist design that perfectly merges safety with a robot-friendly aesthetic. This accolade validates the chair's designer’s commitment to creating a space that feels like home for both humans and robots.
As our homes evolve into personal sanctuaries filled with both cherished memories and cutting-edge technology, the LOVOT Chair stands as a testament to this development. The aim was to create a charming chair that complements the rounded form and organic lines of the LOVOT, encouraging interactions that feel natural and loving.
Design Details
The chair is strikingly unique, with aesthetics that echo the gentle curves of the LOVOT itself. The design not only serves as a comfy seat but also encourages tactile engagement. The warm wooden texture and soft curves make it inviting even when the LOVOT is away. This versatile furniture piece comes in a dining table size for family gatherings and a low variant perfect for smaller spaces like lounges or bedrooms.
