About Colored Finch Seĝo
Colored Finch estas seĝo inspirita de la formo de fringo. La dorsapogilo aspektas rekta de fronte kaj kurbiĝas ĉe la flankoj, kombinante formon kaj komforton. La dorsapogilo kaj sidloko estas faritaj el manfarita plurtavola ligno, formita kiel duobla-tavola kurba ligno. La kruroj estas metalaj tuboj kovritaj per tavoloj de manfarita ŝtofo. La limigita uzo de nerenovigeblaj materialoj en la kruroj subtenas medioprotektadon. Dek ses prototipoj estis konstruitaj, kaj testa manekeno estis uzata por studi sidpoziciojn kaj difini la finan grandecon. La seĝo mezuras 490 mm larĝe, 550 mm profunde kaj 810 mm alte.

- Production Technology
- To make the chair both stylish and comfortable, the designer made the backrest look straight upfront and curved on the side. Given these considerations, the designer asked the factory to use the double-layer curved wood according to the Rhino model of product. To make entire chair thin and light, the production team needed to develop the suitable metal parts so to manufacture the finished product.
- Design Challenge
- We had changed some suppliers before finding the ideal manufacture to impeccably embody the furniture. It required a challenging craftmanship to complete Colored Finch Chair, which demanded extraordinary expertise for manufacturing. During the process, the brand owner and the designer endured diverse pressures. They had to confirmed repeatedly with the cooperative manufacture. It was the hardship of creation.
- Research
- Colored Finch Chair is a piece of composite furniture whose backrest and chair seat were made of the handmade multi-layer woods. The chair legs were made of metal tubes uniformly laminated by handmade fabrics. The minimized usage of non-renewable materials for chair legs exemplifies the creation based on environmental protection.
- Inspiration
- The design idea of Colored Finch Chair was inspired from the fairy in nature—finches.
The bird observes all things in nature in trees. It looks proud and free, and its splendid wings covering the round body figuratively exemplify the fairy painting on the green canvas of nature.
The designer thoroughly observing the postures of bird discovered the most general bird’s shapes artistically converted into the design of furniture, thus adding a touch of spiritual atmosphere of nature in the space. - Project Duration
- Proposal confirmation in May 2020.
Market launch in October 2020. - Operation Flow
- There were 16 prototypes of Colored Finch Chair, which means that the model of Colored Finch Chair was modified for 16 times in the phase of modeling. The scenarios were simulated by applying the medical dummy to the different usages of chair so to determine the size of chair and the final project. After finalizing the shape of chair, the designer generated the rendering. In this phase, the product in rendering was simulated so to discover the best materials, and its scale was examined in the final run.
