About The Doberman Chair La Butaca

La inspiració del disseny prové del gos Doberman. El dissenyador va triar la caoba com a material a causa del color similar al del gos Doberman real. A més, la cadira Doberman té un respatller suspès i una mida de seient llarga, ambdós recoberts de pell negra. El disseny és oferir a la gent un lloc tranquil i còmode per relaxar-se i treballar. Igual que el gos Doberman, The Doberman Chair mostra la seva dignitat i pau úniques.

Design Challenge
The most difficult part of the design was to convert the design into the actual product. The chair in the scene must be comfortable enough to match the comfortable environment.
Research
The design is to give people a quiet and comfortable place to relax and work. In order to design a chair for the third space, not only the café or the rest room, but also home and workplace. I designed a leisure chair, which has a suitable seat height for people to work beside their desk. Moreover, as to express the comfortable feeling, I used wood to make this chair.
Inspiration
The Doberman Chair is invites you to sit back and relax. The Doberman Chair has many details and the use of high quality materials: black leather and solid wood guarantee a contemporary and timeless design. Also, the designer chose the mahogany as material due to the similar color to the real Doberman dog.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2015 and finished by the end of July 2015 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow
The Doberman Chair is a low armchair that is designed as a seat. You can use the chair like any other chair.
