About
Oto The Hugging Chair is a chair with inner walls that can apply deep pressure on the chest or legs. This allows the user to focus on sensory information and reduce tension, particularly helpful for people with autism. The aim of the chair is to be used autonomously in order to make users respond to their own sensory needs, whilst a tablet can also be connected to the chair if needed. The upholstery of the chair provides a muffled acoustic, helping users focus on their own body and isolate themselves from the outside world.
