Lounge Chair for Meiqing Tian

The Clip Chair is a versatile seating option that seamlessly transitions from outdoor to indoor environments. Its design draws inspiration from a paper clip, imbuing it with a charming and fanciful appeal. The chair's distinct clip-shaped framework adapts fluidly to the user's body weight, providing an improved sitting experience. Additionally, the seat's curved metal rod cleverly forms a loop, which can be used to store small items conveniently.

Unique Properties

The chair features a unique clip-like structure that dynamically adjusts to the user's weight, resulting in an enhanced sitting experience. The seat's curved metal rod cleverly forms a loop, offering a handy storage option for small items.

Production Technology

Material: Steel. This design's production process involves four steps: bending metal pipes, welding, sandblasting, and powder coating. Despite its simplicity, these steps yield a visually striking piece of furniture that boasts both an artistic appearance and a relatively low production cost and difficulty. Also, the recycling process is significantly simplified, with only one material used throughout the chair's design.

Design Challenge

When creating the final prototype, it proved challenging to accurately determine the twisting angle and length of the steel rods for the backrest and seat portion. The calculations did not match the computer simulation precisely, making adjustments a significant obstacle to overcome.

Project Duration

12.2022 Brooklyn, New York

Operation Flow

A lounge chair fits both outdoor and indoor spaces great. While serving as a comfortable seat, it can also serve as a decorative piece in user's home.

Research

During the design process, a key consideration for me was how to make furniture more playful. Taking inspiration from the shapes of traditional outdoor chairs and everyday objects found in daily life, I created a form that strikes a balance between elegance and whimsy. The resulting design appears refined and delicate, yet also playful and lighthearted.

Inspiration

The Clip Chair is a versatile seating option that seamlessly transitions from outdoor to indoor environments. The design of this chair bears a resemblance to a paper clip, lending it a playful and whimsical aesthetic.
