LABAA designs therapeutic and inclusive furniture with high social impact.
The company is the creator of OTO, the first patented “hugging chair”, designed to meet the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorders, as well as anyone prone to sensory overload or anxiety. The OTO chair integrates a unique deep pressure technology through inflatable cells embedded within its sides. The chair delivers a uniform and reassuring compression, enabling rapid regulation of the nervous system. Its non-stigmatising design features a warm, ergonomic aesthetic that blends naturally into any environment. The chair was co-designed with healthcare professionals (occupational therapists, psychomotor therapists) and validated through real-world testing (notably at the CHRU de Tours, a centre of excellence in autism).
