The Design

About Vague Ruglose Stoel

Vague is 'n ruglose stoel wat gevorm word deur deurlopende strukturele kurwes. Elke kykhoek onthul 'n ander harmonieuse komposisie. Vague is gemaak van staalbuise met 'n deursnee van 5/16 duim, gevorm deur buiging en verbind deur sweiswerk. Die oppervlak kry 'n elektrostatiese verf- of koperbedekkingsafwerking. Die afmetings is 400 mm in breedte, 390 mm in diepte en 420 mm in hoogte. Die kurwes is geïnspireer deur die rimpelings van 'n waterdruppel wat in 'n rivier val en deur die struktuur van blare. Vague kan gebruik word as 'n sitplek of as 'n dekoratiewe voorwerp.

Production Technology
Vague uses as material steel tubes with 5/16 inch diameter and the production is made by bending and welding (TIG type).
After that, it receives an electrostatic paint or a copper coating finish.
Design Challenge
The hardest part of creating Vague was the cad 3d modeling.
Several studies have been done to achieve the perfect shape.
Research
Vague was inspired by nature, combining the structure of the leaves with the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape.
Inspiration
Vague is French for wave - a name inspired by the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape. The piece’s visual lightness embraces only the bare essential for its purpose, and that inspiration stemmed from carefully observing nature’s wisdom.
Project Duration
Vague was designed in São Paulo on April 2020 and has been produced in southern Brazil since August.
Operation Flow
Vague can be used as a simple stool but also as a piece of art, as its beauty creates a great highlight on environments.
