The Design

About Pinch Lingkuranan

Ang Pinch Chair usa ka unibody, stackable, plastik nga lingkuranan nga naghan-ay pag-usab sa tradisyonal nga mga disenyo nga adunay lab-as nga aesthetic nga mas haum sa kontemporaryong arkitektura ug mga talan-awon. Gidisenyo nga adunay unibody logic, ang plastic sheet nahimong kompleto nga lingkuranan nga adunay yano nga pagkurot ug pagbira nga mga lihok. Ang seamless, cohesive nga panagway niini nagmugna sa usa ka intuitive ug dinamikong biswal nga imahe. Gitugotan sa disenyo ang pag-stack sa panahon sa pagtipig ug lig-on nga pagbutang sa usa ka lamesa sa kan-anan kung gibaliktad, nga dali alang sa mga kawani sa restawran nga limpyohan ang salog kung magsira.

Design Challenge: Designing a chair that satisfies both practical needs and modern aesthetic while also being stackable and easy to clean the floor, requires finding the perfect balance between form and function, which can be a challenging process.
Research: Medium2 Studio have observed that many restaurants prefer using plastic chairs for cleaning and maintenance purposes. During our interviews with restaurant owners, Medium2 Studio noticed that they had some common expectations and requirements for plastic chairs. Apart from being stackable for storage convenience, they wanted chairs that could be temporarily lifted off the ground, so that they could clean the floor and put the chairs back without having to clear an entire area of chairs. Finally, they had higher expectations for the design of plastic chairs, hoping that they could enhance or complement the interior decoration of their establishments. Based on these findings, Medium2 Studio have designed the Pinch Chair.
Inspiration: Plastic chairs are a common experience in modern people’s lives. They are also a superb example of the practicality and convenience that industrial production brings.
The Pinch Chair starts with the prototype of the traditional plastic chair, then adds a new form factor to make it a better match for modern architecture and design. The chair was designed using a unibody logic, imagining the plastic sheet transforming into a complete chair with simple pinching and pulling moves.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2021 in Taiwan and finished in May 2021 in taiwan.
Operation Flow: The Pinch Chair design allows for stacking during storage and stable placement on a dining table when flipped upside down, which is convenient for restaurant staff to clean the floor when closing.
