About Luar Крэсла

Крэсла Luar з'яўляецца вынікам трансфармацыі ў прадмет мэблі іканаграфічных узораў каменнага тратуара пляжа Капакабана ў Рыа-дэ-Жанэйра, радным горадзе дызайнераў. Крэсла прадстаўляе кампазіцыю кантрастаў: дрэва з усёй сваёй строгасцю і празрыстасцю кантрастуе з абітымі элементамі, якія з'яўляюцца трывалымі, мяккімі і зручнымі. Яго форма паходзіць ад тэхнікі, якую кампаніі Lattoog і Schuster даследавалі на працягу дзесяці гадоў. Прэсаваныя дрэўныя мікраламінаты, якія дазваляюць бясшвовыя, крывалінейныя і вельмі трывалыя структуры з аптымальным выкарыстаннем матэрыяла.

Unique Properties
We sought to apply to this armchair a technique that we have explored and refined over the last ten years with pressed wood microlaminates that allow seamless curvilinear, slender and very resistant forms, with optimal use of the raw material.
Here, we bring a composition of contrasts: wood with all its slenderness and transparency contrasting with upholstered elements, seat and back, that are rich, soft and comfortable.

Production Technology
Curved microlaminated brazilian wood tauari, recycled pet upholstery. Tauari is one of 22 alternative wood species whose use has been encouraged by the Brazilian Institute of The Environment and Renewable Resources, Ibama, for the manufacture of furniture.
Design Challenge
The process of redesigning the iconographic geometry of the sidewalks of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, and its subsequent three dimensionalization, served as the core of the creative exercise that resulted in the design of the Luar armchair. One of the biggest challenges was transforming these two dimensional shapes into three dimensional forms that provided good ergonomics.
Research
A very present focus of study in the work of the design studio that created this armchair has been the transformation of urban elements and icons into pieces of furniture. In general, the main reference is Rio de Janeiro, the designers' hometown. Its construction technique was developed in partnership with the manufacturer and has been constantly refined during the last ten years: Pressed wood microlaminates that allow seamless curvilinear, slender and very resistant forms, with optimal use of the raw material.
Inspiration
The Luar armchair was born as a result of a three dimensionalization exercise of preexisting and very valuable graphic patterns within the creative process of Lattoog designers: the iconographic modular designs of the stone sidewalks on the shores of Ipanema and Copacabana beaches in Rio de Janeiro, hometown of the designers of this piece.
This armchair receives a romantic name in Portuguese: Luar, which means Moonlight in English.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2023 in Rio de Janeiro and was launched in March 2024 at the Sao Paolo Design Week.
Operation Flow
The Luar armchair is an indoor furniture designed to enhance and bring to homes two of Rio de Janeiro's main urban icons: the Copacabana and Ipanema beach stone sidewalks.
