In calculus, a hyperbolic paraboloid is a doubly-curved surface that resembles the shape of a saddle. This shape makes it easier to stack the chips and minimises the possibility of breaking during transport. Due to its saddle shape, there is no predictable way to break it up, which apparently increases that crunchy feeling.

The name giving element of this chair is its hyperbolic paraboloid curve in the back.The Yokohama, Japan based Hamanishi Design studio created this chair, that is made of bend wood, accompanied by a contrasting colorful rope. The diagonal tightened up rope forms a soft back supporting paraboloid, making this a minimalistic, yet  very interesting piece of furniture. It has been awarded with a German Design Award 2018.
