About Bica Lounge صندلی راحتی

بیکا لانج یک صندلی راحتی است که از یک صندلی پرتغالی متعلق به دهه ۱۹۵۰ الهام گرفته شده است. این طراحی خطوط اصلی را حفظ کرده و در عین حال سطح راحتی را ارتقا می‌دهد. بیکا لانج ترکیبی میان یک صندلی سنتی و یک شزلون است و ابعادی معادل ۸۰۰ در ۶۰۰ در ۸۰۰ میلی‌متر دارد. قاب آن از فولاد ساخته شده، ماده‌ای که به‌طور گسترده بازیافت می‌شود و قابل بازیافت است، و در فرآیند چربی‌زدایی و پرداخت آن از روش‌های بدون آب استفاده شده است. رویه‌ی چوب‌پنبه‌ی طبیعی، ادای احترامی به سنت چوب‌پنبه‌ی پرتغال است و برای استفاده در فضاهای مسکونی و پروژه‌های تجاری مناسب می‌باشد.

Production Technology
In this project we used steel as one of the most recycled and recyclable materials in the world. We also looked for waterless degreasing and finishing solutions and for upholstery, we choose a natural product, that use in our days has a highly technological process of production able to be used both in bouth home and contract market.
Design Challenge
It was simple . It was Designed in my head for almost 20 years , so to be honest , it was easy !
The must difficulte part was to find in Portugal a machine that could bend the 28mm round tube with the perfection I wanted .
Research
This whole project has as inspiration a Lisbon chair from 1950 . The initial idea was to grab those cultural roots and completely transform the concept, both in design and use. Then we matured the idea and made it deliberately contemporary, i.e. to build a piece with as many parts as possible that respected the environment and at the same time supported the local economy. One of the fundamental questions was the search for sustainable solutions for its construction (wood, steel, fabrics, finishes, etc.) and leave a social contribution with its commercialization.
Inspiration
Inspired by the original BICAchair from 1950, the BICAlounge tried to raise the standard of comfort without ever distorting the original lines . In fact, the challenge was to create a highly versatile piece, with a consensual design, beautiful and extremely comfortable, without ever escaping the basic principles composed of two unique pieces that make up the model. The use of natural cork was an added element to honour the art of the Portuguese tradition in cork transformation, unique in the world. It was the way to make this model even more Portuguese .
Project Duration
This piece was idealised in 2001 and materialised only as a prototype in 2016 for a 5 star Hotel project ( TOUREL AVANTGARDE in Porto / Portugal). In April 2021 it will be officially presented to the general public.
Operation Flow
This Lounge chair is a compromise between a traditional chair and a "chaise Long " . the comfort is enviable as are its proportions . We were able to spend hours sitting down effortlessly .
