Unique Properties

A lounge chair that allows users to enjoy an elegant and comfortable experience while relaxing and releasing. The chair can satisfy users with different needs, so it needs to strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics. In terms of color, use a stable color system so that users can feel happy and relaxed when they see the chair. The design should respect the natural and comfortable human body posture, and at the same time take into account the layout and color of the space.

Production Technology

The wood is cut into different shapes of strips, and then glued together in a particular order to establish its initial shape, and then the excess material is manually planned to complete the final smooth curved shape.

Design Challenge

In the process of design development, how to avoid being limited by the multitude of classic chair designs is a major challenge, as well as attempting to create clean, streamlined, and graceful curves without the ability to access large-scale bentwood manufacturing.

Project Duration

The project started in October 2022 and finished in December in Taiwan and was exhibited in Young Designers' Exhibition；YODEX TAIPEI.

Operation Flow

Located in the living room for seating.

Research

With the economic growth in Taiwan and the increased emphasis on aesthetic education, The new generation is more willing to invest time and money in selecting furniture. Chairs, being versatile in their forms, are among the top choices for most people. Thus, when it comes to furniture selection in Taiwan's homes, the focus lies on comfort, visual appeal, and size. This research reminds me again the importance of designing products that closely align with the needs of users.

Inspiration

Drawing inspiration from the blooming of flowers and the imagery of cupped hands, this design creates the illusion of blossoming flowers when placed alone in the living room, and a sense of being cradled by supporting hands for human.
