About Cecilia Besaulkia

Cecilia birziklatutako eta baztertutako materialekin egindako besaulkia da. Egitura soberako egurraren xafla prentsatuekin eraikita dago, oin zabalekin eta eserleku zabalarekin moldatua, hondar-zati laburrak erabili ahal izateko. Bizkarraldea oihal-hondar txikiez osatuta dago, oinarri malgu bati lotuta eta barruan aparra duela, bolumen leuna eta erosotasun gehigarria sortuz. Eserlekua baztertutako larruz egina dago, adabakiak eta xehetasunak jaso ditzakeena, eta horrela besaulki bakoitza berezia da. Forma baxu eta etzanak atsedena gonbidatzen du eta estilo eskandinaviarra jarraitzen du.

Tags: armchair, sustainable, recycled, reuse, design, scandinavian
Production Technology: Structure in pressed pieces of wood from reuse, Backseat a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied with a foam inside, and seat made by leather.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to use left over fabric for the backseat and left over wood for the structure. For the backseat we used a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied, creating an aesthetic volume an comfort while in use. For the structure, I designed larger feet and seat, that allowed me to use left over wood slats pressed.
Research: The research was made about types of sustainable and recycled materials, that could work in an aesthetic and functional way.
Inspiration: Inspired on the scandinavian style and with sustainable solutions, the armchair is a tribute to my grandmother, who was in love with handmade works, reflected on the backseat. She also loved nature and was short, that is why the armchair was made in a sustainable way and its design is lower, thought to be easier to use, welcoming and comfortable.
Project Duration: Started in November 2019 in Sao Paulo and finished in january 2020 in Santa Catarina.
Operation Flow: A lower armchair, made of comfortable materials to rest.
