About Florencia Cadair Lolfa
Mae Cadair Lolfa Florencia yn cynnwys ffrâm ddi-dor llyfn gyda chymalau caledwedd sero di-dor. Mae gwneud y gadair yn syml i'w hadeiladu yn lleihau'r angen am offer, caledwedd a chyfarwyddiadau ychwanegol. Mae'r lledr neu'r cotwm bachog yn cynnig man cyfforddus a hardd i ymlacio. Mae’r brethyn bachog yn dibynnu ar ddisgyrchiant i ddal yr eisteddwr, gan greu naws hamog sy’n addasu i gyfuchlin y defnyddiwr. Mae ei symlrwydd yn gwneud i hyd oes y gadair bara'n hirach na'r mwyafrif, gan addasu'n hawdd i unrhyw ystafell a'i lanhau.

- Design Challenge
- The hardest of designing the Florencia chair was deciding how the chair would allow for the fabric to hang downward to provide a slouchy hammock feel and still providing structural support in a seemingly thin and delicate design.
- Research
- The research process began with a mood board, where I researched interior design and orchids that would encase the sensation I wanted to demonstrate. Along with the overall aesthetic, there were points I wanted to raise regarding the lifespan of furniture and having furniture that adapts to a home with an easily interchangeable fabric that requires zero hardware.
- Inspiration
- The Ghost Orchid, native to South Florida is characterized by its lack of leaves, making it seem like it floats in mid-air. Latching onto tree bark with its roots and swing outward. With its swinging sepals and petals and the feeling of suspension of the levitating flower, the Florencia lounge chair encases this enchanting sensation. The seemingly seamless frame imitated the petals and their direction.
- Project Duration
- February 2022 and finished in May 2022 College for Creative Studies. Was exhibited at the College for Creative Studies Student Exhibition and Industry Day in May 2022.
- Operation Flow
- The user simply hooks their chosen fabric over the backrest and slits in the armrest and sinks into the hammock chair. Being able to easily remove the fabric means one can switch out or clean the fabric at ease as well as clean the casted aluminum frame to maintain its luminosity.
