The Design

About Dcl Stolica

Dcl je stolica u potpunosti izrađena od vlaknaste ploče visoke gustoće. Svaki dio je izrezan CNC glodalicom. Stolica je obojena u jarku jednobojnu boju, a može se primijeniti bilo koja boja. Gledana iz daljine, Dcl izgleda gotovo kao kubični blok pune boje, a ne kao stolica. Dizajn slijedi studiju stolice italijanskog arhitekte i dizajnera Cesarea Leonardija, koja je ostala drveni model i nikada nije proizvedena. Naziv Dcl znači Dopo Cesare Leonardi, što znači Poslije Cesarea Leonardija. Stolica ima dimenzije 55 x 50 x 70 centimetara.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
Operation Flow: It's a chair.
Patents: The design was registered at IAB (Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil)
Team Members: Álvaro Wolmer
