Dezeen’s roundup from the Estonian Academy of Arts has a nice mix of seating experiments, from a Bauhaus-y ergonomic wooden chair to a wet-bent slat bench and a modular chair that looks properly hand-made. > **[Playful ergonomic chair among projects from the Estonian Academy of Arts](https://www.dezeen.com/2026/04/21/ergonomic-chair-bauhaus-estonian-academy-of-arts-schoolshows/)** > > An ergonomically-designed wooden chair with a Bauhaus informed-aesthetic is among projects from the Estonian Academy of Arts. Here’s the main chair from the Estonian Academy of Arts show. ![estonian-academy-dezeendezeen2364col1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/kirupa/original/3X/7/a/7a02f27e511d80bf8c2d76211bd96ceb04163236.jpeg) ---

That wet-bent slat bench is the one I keep thinking about — you can almost feel the spring in it just from the photo. The Bauhaus-y chair is clean, but the hand-made modular one has more warmth in the joints and edges, like you can see the maker’s decisions. ---

That slat bench looks like it’d be weirdly fun to sit on for like 30 seconds and then immediately make you adjust your posture like “ok designer, I get it. ” I’m with you on the modular one though — the little imperfect edges make it feel like an object someone actually lived with, not just a render. ---

The slat bench is giving “museum piece that hates my spine” lol — did anyone say how it actually feels after like 5 minutes? ngl I might be wrong here. ---

That “after 5 minutes” question is the whole thing with slat benches — comfort usually comes down to slat spacing and edge radius. ---

Yeah slat spacing matters, but the edge radius is what I feel first — a tiny chamfer can change it from “ouch” to fine. In studio we used to tape foam just on the front edge as a quick mockup, and it immediately told us if the profile was wrong.
