About Mama Cadira per a espais comunitaris

Mama és una cadira apilable dissenyada per a espais comunitaris com ara sales de conferències, sales de formació, zones d'espera i entorns exteriors. La cadira està disponible amb o sense reposabraços i es pot connectar en fileres. Una estructura monocasc de poliamida reforçada amb un 20 per cent de fibra de vidre forma el cos d'una sola peça, totalment reciclable. La superfície del respatller presenta micro-relleus arrodonits que redueixen la zona de contacte i afavoreixen la transpiració natural del cos. Les superfícies corbades garanteixen un confort ergonòmic. Es poden apilar verticalment fins a deu cadires.

Tags: chair, conference chair, contract chair, multipurpose chair, connectable chair, stackable chair, meeting room, training room, outdoor chair
Production Technology: It’s made with a monocoque structure in polyamide reinforced with 20 percent glass fiber. The backrest has an original surface characterized by rounded micro reliefs designed to reduce the supporting surface, thus favoring the natural transpiration of the body. The curves and inclination of all surfaces ensure maximum ergonomic comfort. The design of the armrests, as well as that of the structure of the legs and their particular inclination, have been conceived to optimize the vertical stacking of up to 10 chairs; the joint system has also been optimized to connect the seats horizontally both with and without armrests.
Design Challenge: Making a chair in a single plastic body has some technical difficulties due to the characteristics that a community chair must have. Calculating thicknesses, comply with all the international rules and standards and keep an attractive design is the real challenge.
Research: Analysis of chairs on the market with similar proposals and features. Our intent was to reduce the components to achieve the same goal.
Inspiration: The main source of inspiration was making a lightweight chair in single-piece. The seatback has a surface inspired by the surface of the sea.
Project Duration: The project startet in March 2020 in Ponsacco (PI) and finished in December 2021 in Ponsacco (PI)
Operation Flow: Mama has all the characteristics of the community chair: combinable in rows, stackable, with and without armrests.
