The Design

About Vague Silla sin respaldo

Vague es una silla sin respaldo formada por curvas estructurales continuas. Cada ángulo de visión revela una composición armónica diferente. Vague está fabricada con tubos de acero de 5/16 de pulgada de diámetro, conformados mediante doblado y unidos por soldadura. La superficie recibe un acabado de pintura electrostática o un recubrimiento de cobre. Sus dimensiones son 400 mm de ancho, 390 mm de profundidad y 420 mm de altura. Las curvas se inspiraron en las ondas que genera una gota de agua al caer en un río y en la estructura de las hojas. Vague puede utilizarse como asiento o como objeto decorativo.

Unique Properties: Vague is a de-constructed stool with structural curves which form its shape. An astonishing piece of furniture, for every different angle from which it is seen reveals a harmonious composition.

The metal-cast stools bring out the poetry of what was the sketch inception; lines previously drawn morph into tubes and highlight the environment as a ready-to-enjoy object of art.
Dimensions & Packaging: 400mm x 390mm x 420mm (Width x Depth x Height)

Production Technology: Vague uses as material steel tubes with 5/16 inch diameter and the production is made by bending and welding (TIG type).
After that, it receives an electrostatic paint or a copper coating finish.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of creating Vague was the cad 3d modeling.
Several studies have been done to achieve the perfect shape.
Research: Vague was inspired by nature, combining the structure of the leaves with the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape.
Inspiration: Vague is French for wave - a name inspired by the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape. The piece’s visual lightness embraces only the bare essential for its purpose, and that inspiration stemmed from carefully observing nature’s wisdom.
Project Duration: Vague was designed in São Paulo on April 2020 and has been produced in southern Brazil since August.
Operation Flow: Vague can be used as a simple stool but also as a piece of art, as its beauty creates a great highlight on environments.
