About Cecilia Leunstoel
Cecilia is 'n leunstoel wat gemaak is van hergebruikte en weggegooide materiale. Die struktuur is gebou uit saamgeperste latte van oorskiethout, gevorm met breë pote en 'n breë sitplek sodat kort afkapsels gebruik kan word. Die rugleuning word gevorm deur klein stukkies oorskietstof wat aan 'n buigsame basis vasgemaak is met skuim binne-in, wat 'n sagte volume en bykomende gemak skep. Die sitplek is gemaak van weggegooide leer, wat lappe en besonderhede kan ontvang, sodat elke leunstoel uniek is. Die lae en agteroorleunende vorm nooi tot rus en volg 'n Skandinawiese styl.

- Production Technology
- Structure in pressed pieces of wood from reuse, Backseat a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied with a foam inside, and seat made by leather.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to use left over fabric for the backseat and left over wood for the structure. For the backseat we used a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied, creating an aesthetic volume an comfort while in use. For the structure, I designed larger feet and seat, that allowed me to use left over wood slats pressed.
- Research
- The research was made about types of sustainable and recycled materials, that could work in an aesthetic and functional way.
- Inspiration
- Inspired on the scandinavian style and with sustainable solutions, the armchair is a tribute to my grandmother, who was in love with handmade works, reflected on the backseat. She also loved nature and was short, that is why the armchair was made in a sustainable way and its design is lower, thought to be easier to use, welcoming and comfortable.
- Project Duration
- Started in November 2019 in Sao Paulo and finished in january 2020 in Santa Catarina.
- Operation Flow
