About The Once Collection Lingkoranan

Ang Once Collection usa ka linya sa mga lingkoranan nga naglakip sa usa ka silya ug usa ka barstool. Ang matag lingkoranan gitukod gikan sa duha ka porma sa laser-cut nga metal nga gisumpay pinaagi sa welding. Ang metal naghimo sa usa ka sentral nga tiil nga nagbahin pag-usab ngadto sa mga suporta para sa mga cushion. Tulo ka mga punto sa kontak sa salog naghatag og kalig-on. Ang mga cushion hinimo gikan sa foam nga gipahiluna sa base nga kahoy ug gitabonan sa panit sa baka nga gitahi sumala sa gidak-on. Ang mga sandiganan sa likod gikonektar pinaagi sa hinge, aron kini moangay sa lawas sa naglingkod nga tawo. Duha ka bersyon ang gitanyag, usa nga Corten steel ug usa nga gipintalan og itom.

Unique Properties: At Dasein Products, they are always looking for an unique approach without compromising in functionality or comfort. In this case a chair and a barstool. These seats are made of a laser-cut metal construction and with cowhide upholstered foam cushions.

The metals form a strong single legged chair but split again to become supports for the cushions.

The seating cushion is directly fixed on the metal. The backrests are connected by a hinge so that they can adapt to the seated person.
Dimensions & Packaging: Barstool : Width 50 cm x Depth 40 cm x Height 110 cm
Stool: Width 50 cm x Depth 40 cm x Height 80 cm

Production Technology: The chairs are made of 2 forms of laser-cut metal that are welded together. There is the Corten steel version and the black version that needs painting after the welding.

The cushions are made of foam on wooden base. They are covered with cowhide that was first sewn to size.
Design Challenge: It is not that easy to generate an elegant yet comfortable chair that looks different from the rest. It’s production needs good machinery but mostly specialized craftsmanship.
Research: A stool has to be stable. Hence the 3 contact points with the floor. It is important that the ones at the rear are far enough to the back to prevent flipping.

Secondly it needs to be strong and not heavy. By using plate metal that was cut and welded in a well thought out manner, Dasein Products was able to reduce the number of legs. You will also see that there are no weak corners but that direction change is made through rounded angles.

For comfort, there are no hard and inflexible contact with the seated.
Inspiration: Design should be functional. It is limited by laws of nature. The challenge was to create an unique (bar)stool by exploring materials and production methods.

A chair needs to be strong, stable, light and comfortable. A good design combines all this with a unique look.
Project Duration: A similar design was made by the designer as a student when he was assigned to create an ode to Japanese product designer Tohiyuki Kita. It refers to his Wink chair and his Kick table. The designer picked the idea up again and early 2020 and reshaped the homage according his current ideas.
Operation Flow: This is some comfortable sitting. The bicycle seat changes the position of the legs which relieves the spine and back muscles. And the back itself is extra supported by the hinged supports.
