hbada × OHHH! CONTEST — 2025

Synergy. Self-Love Is Your Energy.

3 chairs. 3 philosophies. 1 format no one had tried before.

CLOSED

Skip The Agency. Own The Story.

Where Briefs Become Culture.

Founded in 2008, HBADA has built a global reputation for one thing — making ergonomic furniture that actually supports how humans live. Not just how they sit. How they think, create, and recover. Comfort with intention. Design with purpose.

THE BRIEF

Three chairs. Three states of being. We asked filmmakers to live inside one.

THE FORMAT

We didn't just ask for a video. We asked for something that had never been done.

A vertical triptych.

9:16 — split into three horizontal panels, stacked. Three layers of story. Three angles of truth. One frame that forces you to think differently. Play with time. Sync and desync motion. Show the same scene from three perspectives. Or break the pattern entirely.

This was the challenge. Most rose to it.
