About Dcl Aulkia

Dcl dentsitate handiko zuntz-taula soilez egindako aulkia da. Pieza guztiak CNC fresatzeko makina batekin ebakitzen dira. Aulkia kolore bizi eta uniforme batez margotzen da, eta edozein kolore aplika daiteke. Urrutitik ikusita, Dcl kolore trinkoko bloke kubiko bat dirudi ia, aulki bat baino gehiago. Diseinuak Cesare Leonardi arkitekto eta diseinatzaile italiarraren aulki-azterketa bati jarraitzen dio, zurezko maketa gisa geratu zena eta inoiz ekoiztu ez zena. Dcl izenak Dopo Cesare Leonardi esan nahi du, hau da, Cesare Leonardiren ondoren. Aulkiak 55 x 50 x 70 zentimetro neurtzen ditu.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: It's a chair made entirely of HDF and painted with a bright solid color - any color - and looks like, when spotted, almost not a chair but a sort of a cubic block of solid massive color.
Dimensions & Packaging: 55 x 50 x 70 cm
Tags: chair, concept chair, contemporary chair, basic chair, colorful chair
Production Technology: HDF cut in a CNC router.
Design Challenge: In this particular case, there was not "a hardest part of design", which is very rare in any of my designs.
Research: I simply found in the internet a photo of one interesting study of chair made by the Italian architect and designer Cesare Leonardi. Since Leonardi's chair was not developed nor produced, I thought I could "devevelop it, as I was a Leonardi's team member, and started make a model of of it, changing material, changing form and proportions and making it in a more logic way, seaching for a better proportion and confort for a chair of plain HDF (Leonardi's chair was made of solid wood). The result: my chair is very basic, more logic than Leonardi's; my chair is a concept chair. DCL means Dopo Cesare Leonardi (After Cesare Leonardi).
Inspiration: My inspiration was a chair study made by Cesare Leonardi, an Italian architect and designer. Leonardi's chair was nothing more than a wooden model and was not developed nor produced.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2025 in São Paulo and finished in October 2025.
Operation Flow: It's a chair.
Patents: The design was registered at IAB (Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil)
Team Members: Álvaro Wolmer
