[BONI.D 💡] OTO: The Embrace Chair for Autistic People

At the crossroad of innovation and empathy is OTO, a solution designed to address a need: therapeutic hugging. This chair offers a nest, an oasis of calm amidst the sensory tumult of everyday life: a controlled and soothing embrace experience.

 

The concept has its roots in a specific request from the ADAPEI of Blain Medical-Educational Institute. Within the autistic universe, where sensory overload can be overwhelming, the need for a physical embrace has proven essential.

 

Alexia Audrain, a cabinetmaker and furniture designer, created OTO, merging science and design to offer a safe and comforting space. A meticulous exploration of user needs was conducted through close collaboration with the educational team of the IME, and a year and a half of research and development gave birth to OTO.

 

Congratulations for this beautiful creation!
