The Design
About Dcl Stoel
Dcl is 'n stoel wat geheel en al van hoëdigtheidsveselbord gemaak is. Elke onderdeel word met 'n CNC-freesmasjien gesny. Die stoel word in 'n helder soliede kleur geverf, en enige kleur kan aangewend word. Van 'n afstand gesien lyk Dcl amper soos 'n kubieke blok van soliede kleur eerder as 'n stoel. Die ontwerp volg 'n stoelstudie deur die Italiaanse argitek en ontwerper Cesare Leonardi, wat 'n houtmodel gebly het en nooit vervaardig is nie. Die naam Dcl staan vir Dopo Cesare Leonardi, wat Na Cesare Leonardi beteken. Die stoel meet 55 by 50 by 70 sentimeter.

- Unique Properties
- It's a chair made entirely of HDF and painted with a bright solid color - any color - and looks like, when spotted, almost not a chair but a sort of a cubic block of solid massive color.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 55 x 50 x 70 cm
- Tags
- chair, concept chair, contemporary chair, basic chair, colorful chair
- Production Technology
- HDF cut in a CNC router.
- Design Challenge
- In this particular case, there was not "a hardest part of design", which is very rare in any of my designs.
- Research
- I simply found in the internet a photo of one interesting study of chair made by the Italian architect and designer Cesare Leonardi. Since Leonardi's chair was not developed nor produced, I thought I could "devevelop it, as I was a Leonardi's team member, and started make a model of of it, changing material, changing form and proportions and making it in a more logic way, seaching for a better proportion and confort for a chair of plain HDF (Leonardi's chair was made of solid wood). The result: my chair is very basic, more logic than Leonardi's; my chair is a concept chair. DCL means Dopo Cesare Leonardi (After Cesare Leonardi).
- Inspiration
- My inspiration was a chair study made by Cesare Leonardi, an Italian architect and designer. Leonardi's chair was nothing more than a wooden model and was not developed nor produced.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2025 in São Paulo and finished in October 2025.
