About Existence Cadair

Mae Existence yn gadair a gynlluniwyd ar gyfer meddwl. Ystyrir y gadair fel darn o bensaernïaeth sy'n diffinio ymyl ac yn gadael lle i'r meddwl ei lenwi. Gwnaed dau brototeip o ddur gwrthstaen. Mae eistedd ar Existence yn gofyn am sylw ac ymdrech gyhyrol, felly mae'r gadair yn cyfyngu ar gysur corfforol er mwyn rhyddhau'r meddwl. Mae pob cadair yn mesur 1000 mm o led, 800 mm o ddyfnder a 600 mm o uchder. Siapiwyd y prototeipiau â llaw, a addaswyd technegau gwahanol i sicrhau cywirdeb manwl gywir.
