The Ruckus Chair project set out to create a custom lounge chair for Ruckus Athletics, a Muay Thai studio in Barcelona. The goal was to design a piece that not only embodied the spirit and culture of Muay Thai but also provided comfort and functionality for the studio’s lounge.

As the project evolved into a second phase, we shifted focus toward limited-series production for retail, broadening the reach and appeal of the chair to a wider audience.

The primary challenge lay in striking a balance between innovation and tradition, blending distinctive design elements with familiar features that resonate with the essence of Muay Thai culture.
