About Cloud Cadair
Mae Cloud yn gadair a ysbrydolwyd gan gawod law a welwyd dros arfordir Ynys Okinawa yn Japan. Gwneir arwyneb yr eistedd trwy dyllu ffibr polyester i mewn i ewyn polywrethan gyda nodwydd, sy'n creu golwg feddal debyg i gwmwl. Mae sedd uchel yn rhoi teimlad o arnofio i'r person sy'n eistedd. Mae coesau dur di-staen tebyg i ddrych a phedestal wedi'u ffurfio o farrau crwn tenau sy'n mynegi glaw yn disgyn. Penderfynwyd nifer, hyd a diamedr y barrau yn ofalus. Mae Cloud wedi'i wneud â llaw o ddur di-staen, ffibr polyester, pren ac ewyn polywrethan.

- Research
- I feel like the products in the world are now uniform.
Different regions have their own culture and nature.
Among them, I paid attention to nature.
I think of naturally inspired designs.
After that, repeat the verification of the material and structure.
I will announce the created design to the world and aim for commercialization.
I believe that doing so will enrich the uniform world. - Inspiration
- The sky is connected everywhere in the world.
Many people have seen clouds.
A design inspired by nature will resonate with various people.
I live on Okinawa Island south of Japan.
One day, I saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast.
The idea of this chair came up from the scenery at that time. - Project Duration
- The project started in April 2019 and ended in October 2019.
- Operation Flow
- I think there are many people who have imagined when they were children that they could sit on clouds.
I realized that imagination.
Poetic products enrich the emotions of users.
In addition, this product makes the surrounding space visually enjoyable. - Image Credits
