Wigiwama's Teen Collection introduces two oversized lounge chairs designed for teen bedrooms: the Club Chair and the Momo Chair — built to hold onto that same feeling of comfort, in an accent chair that finally feels like their own.
– Anastasia, Founder
The idea for a Teen Collection didn't originate in a boardroom with market analysis and trends in mind — like most good Wigiwama ideas, it started at home. When Anastasia founded Wigiwama in 2016, it all began with a simple idea: designing a teepee for her one-year-old daughter, Sasha. Fast forward ten years, and Sasha is now eleven: tall enough to have opinions, and well past the furniture that started it all. She was ready for a different kind of space — one that felt like her own.
"When children grow, their needs change – but the desire for comfort stays," says Anastasia. "Teenagers still want somewhere to curl up after a busy day, to relax, think, listen to music, study, or simply be themselves. I wanted to create a collection that feels like the next step: something softer and more grown-up, but with that same feeling of being held."
Designing the right teen room chair meant finding the balance between a child's old favourites and a teenager's new sense of style. The teenage years are a curious in-between: childhood isn't quite over, but adulthood is beginning to take shape. It's the age of discovering personal style, collecting favourite books and playlists, decorating a room with intention, and wanting a space that feels like an extension of yourself.
The challenge was to design chairs for a teen room that could live comfortably in that transition. It had to feel personal, but not childish. Considered, yet not cold. Pieces that belong in a teenager's bedroom while looking equally at home in a shared family living space.
The Club Chair is a teen lounge chair built on familiar ground, taking inspiration from Wigiwama's original Beanbag Chair and bringing its familiar softness into a larger, more grown-up silhouette. While the Beanbag Chair's bean filling gives it that classic, moulds-to-you softness, the Club Chair is filled with shredded foam, offering a more structured shape suited to its larger, more grown-up form. It's a bit more confident and structured, yet still inviting to sink in and stay a while — a lounge chair for teens who want their room to feel more like their own.
The Momo Chair explores a different direction, offering a cosy accent chair for anyone drawn to soft, sculptural shapes. Cloud-like and created for those who start developing their design eye early, its curved shape feels playful yet refined, adding a gentle statement piece to any room. As an accent chair for a bedroom or a quiet reading nook, it brings a softer, more sculptural note to the collection.
Growing up was never about leaving the cosy moments behind. It's about giving them a little more room, and a place that feels a little more like you.
