About Velga Сгъваем стол
Много прост, изчистен и уникален дизайн на стол, фокусиран върху комфорта и елегантността, създаден да допълни домашна или корпоративна среда като трапезария или офис за срещи. Повечето сгъваеми столове са базирани само на функционалност, оставяйки комфорта и естетиката на заден план, докато това предложение се опитва да покрие всички тези нужди. Изработен от кедрово дърво и биоразградими PLA пластмасови компоненти, просто завъртете седалката, сгънете краката и го приберете. Неговото производство обединява ръчни дърводелски техники, компютъризирано рязане и цифрово производство с 3D принтер.

- Production Technology
- The chair is basically made of cedar, its legs and backrest are cut using a cnc machine, the seat is cut manually, both the seat and the backrest have a concavity and are handcrafted using planes to give the feeling of a handmade product, the components of axles and locks are made through 3d printer with biodegradable PLA plastic filament
- Design Challenge
- the biggest challenge of the project was to create something ultra simple, that didn't need fasteners and buttons to use, the development of the axis of rotation for the hind legs was a completely customized system to be able to follow the concept of simplicity and with that to develop the system of locking the legs using the seat
- Research
- Most of the folding chairs available on the market have a rectilinear design, which only prioritizes practicality and not comfort, so we returned to the project to develop something comfortable and elegant for a sophisticated environment.
- Inspiration
- Small apartments and the need for practical furniture that can optimize the living space have become common, that's why our proposal is a folding chair, comfortable that can be used both for dining and office, clean and simple design, in wood to provide a elegant and minimalist aesthetic
- Project Duration
- The project started its development in april 2023, building the first prototype that required adjustments to the seat and backrest angles, the second prototype validated the angles and allowed working on the development of the components, the final version of the chair was ready in august 2023, with the test of plastic components
- Operation Flow
- The operation of this chair starts by opening the back legs and then rotating the seat until it fits in the locking pins, getting it ready to sit down
