About Cloud Aulkia

Cloud Japoniako Okinawa uharteko kostaldearen gainean ikusitako euri-zaparrada batean inspiratutako aulkia da. Eserlekuaren gainazala poliester zuntza poliuretanozko aparrean orratz batekin sartuz egina dago, eta horrek hodei itxurako itxura leuna sortzen du. Eserleku altuak flotatzeko sentsazioa ematen dio eserita dagoen pertsonari. Ispilu itxurako altzairu herdoilgaitzezko hankak eta oinarria erortzen ari den euria adierazten duten barra biribil meheez osatuta daude. Barren kopurua, luzera eta diametroa arreta handiz zehaztu ziren. Cloud eskuz egina dago altzairu herdoilgaitzez, poliester zuntzez, egurrez eta poliuretanozko aparrez.

Design Challenge: In addition, the number, length, and diameter of stainless steel round bars that express rain were carefully determined.
Research: I feel like the products in the world are now uniform.
Different regions have their own culture and nature.
Among them, I paid attention to nature.
I think of naturally inspired designs.
After that, repeat the verification of the material and structure.
I will announce the created design to the world and aim for commercialization.
I believe that doing so will enrich the uniform world.
Inspiration: The sky is connected everywhere in the world.
Many people have seen clouds.
A design inspired by nature will resonate with various people.
I live on Okinawa Island south of Japan.
One day, I saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast.
The idea of this chair came up from the scenery at that time.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 and ended in October 2019.
Operation Flow: I think there are many people who have imagined when they were children that they could sit on clouds.
I realized that imagination.
Poetic products enrich the emotions of users.
In addition, this product makes the surrounding space visually enjoyable.
