Summary
The armchair features a curved metal core for structural integrity, enveloped in soft padding with a choice of materials such as velvety lycra or warm, enveloping wool. In shaping this concept, our studio explored the interplay between form, function, and sensory experience, ensuring that the design is both ergonomically supportive and visually captivating, while fostering a narrative quality that resonates with the observer.
Challenge
The challenge was to reconcile the structural demands of a stable, supportive seat with the fluid, almost sculptural form, while maintaining comfort and tactile richness. The design had to balance technical rigor with the expressive potential of a geometry that encourages imagination and personal interpretation.
Solutions
Through careful modeling, material experimentation, and attention to proportions, the studio developed an armchair that is both functional and poetic. Each curve and surface was refined to offer ergonomic support while amplifying the visual and tactile experience, resulting in a seating object that engages the body, mind, and imagination in equal measure.
