NewHope Chair explores radical simplicity and responsible production. Made entirely from wood – one of the most sustainable materials – it consists of just three elements and two screws, enabling intuitive, tool-free assembly by any user.

NewHope Chair by Hanczar Studio, won a Prize Design Award 2026 from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and Global Design News.

The flat-pack structure reduces storage and transport impact, lowering the carbon footprint. Stackable and designed for longevity, individual parts can be easily replaced. A contrasting palette reveals its three-part logic and invites personal patchwork compositions.
