PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The chair is basically made of cedar, its legs and backrest are cut using a cnc machine, the seat is cut manually, both the seat and the backrest have a concavity and are handcrafted using planes to give the feeling of a handmade product, the components of axles and locks are made through 3d printer with biodegradable PLA plastic filament SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Material: wood, red cedar Dimensions: Open: height 77cm, width 47cm , depth 56cm Closed: height 97cm, width 47cm , depth 12cm TAGS: chair, wood, folding, seat RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Most of the folding chairs available on the market have a rectilinear design, which only prioritizes practicality and not comfort, so we returned to the project to develop something comfortable and elegant for a sophisticated environment. CHALLENGE: the biggest challenge of the project was to create something ultra simple, that didn't need fasteners and buttons to use, the development of the axis of rotation for the hind legs was a completely customized system to be able to follow the concept of simplicity and with that to develop the system of locking the legs using the seat ADDED DATE: 2023-08-10 02:27:46 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : RODRIGO BERLIM IMAGE CREDITS: Photographer: Alexandre Zelinsky |
