Onderhoude met Marco Guariglia

I was cutting a circular piece of paper into slices and playing, the pieces fell into so many shapes and patterns while connected to each other so the idea grew to make a child's toy. This developed into building a toy for adults to play with, therefore Chairry was born.

I'm trying to use pure Echo friendly materials to renew this design. It is a project that goes well in the public and use it with lots of people. I'm working on for letting it goes well by using it out door.

It took me three weeks to make the idea come ture.

Most of the furniture makers rejected making this project because they are afraid of making moving furniture. I visited tatami maker, bamboo artist, grass weaving studio. None of them could make pie shape furniture, not to mention link them together. After surveying many places, the I decided to use fleece fabric for sitting comfort concern.

The design was based on the designers living experience in Asia city. It was a need in there of all kinds of furniture that could help people to save space.

I hope taking the laundry could be something easier, saving more time to do. At the same time, change the shape of hangers to nice decoration.

It will be produce and sell on Zec Zec Taiwan first, and planing to go on Kickstart at the end of 2020.

The design concept was born in the summer of 2018. And it did stared in Mar 2019, it took three month for the designer to make it real.

The name is the combination of two Italian terms, “Sfoglia” and “Foglia”

Sfoglia means page flipping.

And Foglia represents leaf.
