About Florencia Loungestol

Florencia Lounge Chair har en glat kontinuerlig ramme med sømløse nul-hardware samlinger. At gøre stolen enkel at konstruere reducerer behovet for ekstra værktøj, hardware og instruktioner. Det krogede læder eller bomuld tilbyder et behageligt og smukt sted at slappe af. Den krogede klud er afhængig af tyngdekraften til at holde siddende, hvilket skaber en hængekøjefornemmelse, der tilpasser sig brugerens kontur. Dens enkelhed gør, at stolens levetid holder længere end de fleste, og den tilpasser sig let til ethvert rum og rengøres.

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.
