About Mix and Match Sedd Fainc
Mae Mix and Match yn gasgliad o seddi mainc a gynlluniwyd ar gyfer gwestai, mynedfeydd ac adeiladau masnachol. Mae gan bob mainc arwyneb wyneb-bren mewn derw, gwallnysen neu tineo, gydag agoriadau sy'n dal cadeiriau yn eu lle. Mae coesau'r cadeiriau wedi'u tynnu ac maent yn derbyn mecanwaith sy'n eu sicrhau i'r fainc ac yn caniatáu iddynt gylchdroi'n rhydd. Mae tri maint o feinciau yn dal dwy, tair neu bedair cadair, a chynigir chwe model o gadeiriau. Gellir ychwanegu bwrdd bach a socedi gwefru USB, felly mae llawer o gyfuniadau'n bosibl.

- Production Technology
- This piece is produced in two distinct stages: first, the creation of a wooden bench, in which there are holes for fitting chairs. This part has a very simple and discreet design so that the chairs can shine. Second, selection of the chairs for placement on the wooden benches. All the different models are adapted, their legs are removed and a mechanism developed for this object is placed in each one. This will allow them to be secured embedded in the wooden bench. The main materials are three different wood veneers, lacquer and chair's materials.
- Design Challenge
- As this object is intended for commercial uses, the main challenge was the choice of chairs with all the certifications required by hospitality and contract projects.
- Research
- The inspiration for our objects comes from the most unusual ways. But we are passionate about our work and every time we have an idea we give it a name and a number and explore it until its last consequences. If it is original, we will find a way to make it. Designed mostly for hotels, entrances and commercial buildings, Mix and Match is a fun way to sit and wait, that makes us smile every time we look at it. This object was designed in 2019, in Portugal. The first prototype was presented at Valencia fair, last September, just to see the acceptance. It was a success and we decided to go forward.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration for this object was born of all the magnificent chairs that exist in the market and we all love. If we go back to the middle of the 20th century, we realize that the chairs that make us sigh today were (magnificently) drawn at that time.
There is nothing left to invent ... just reinvent and pay tribute.
Following this concept, Mix and Match revisits some of these classics in a funny way, decontextualizes them, removes some elements and presents them with a twist. - Project Duration
- This object was designed in the 1st semester of 2019, in Portugal.
- Operation Flow
- The use of this object is as basic and natural as breathing. People sit on the chairs and can rotate them freely on the bench. As an option, there is the possibility of placing a usb charging plug to charge mobile phones and even small tables to use a laptop.
