The Design

About Balustrade Tuoli

Balustrade on tuoli, joka on suunniteltu lyhyeen ja tilapäiseen lepoon. Suunnittelun inspiraationa on tiedostamaton käyttäytyminen, kuten pöytään tai kaiteeseen nojaaminen. Balustrade tarjoaa kaksi istuma-asentoa. Ensimmäinen on istuminen suoraan yläosan päällä, kuten tuolissa. Toinen on nojaava asento, kuten kaiteeseen nojaaminen. Muoto on yksinkertainen, ja tarkoituksena on lyhytaikainen käyttö pikemminkin kuin pitkäaikainen mukavuus. Useita yksiköitä voidaan pinota päällekkäin kuljetustilavuuden pienentämiseksi. Tuolin mitat ovat 620 kertaa 385 kertaa 720 millimetriä.

Production Technology
Balustrade Chair is a new way of sitting that designers propose to distinguish between chair and stool. Designers of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University believe that the random demand, generated by the masses, is extremely valuable. Most of the demand is generated based on the spontaneous state, which is temporary and random. This randomness creates demands that greatly broaden the definition of many original products.
Design Challenge
The social point of view. It challenges the public's understanding of traditional seats. The using time of this chair is less than 30 minutes, and its main purpose is to rest temporarily.
Technology implementation. The balance between concise form and structure. That is to say, the safety, firmness and service life of people in different physical conditions can be realized.
Research
Through observations and interviews, designers of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University find that the public have other needs and solutions for the "sitting" behavior. After deeply observing the behavior of street people, collecting pictures and analyzing, the pictures puts forward the following suggestions:
1. New form of sitting posture. It's different from sitting completely down and resting. Solve the problem of temporary rest (about 8 minutes of chatting), but it is not a state of complete rest.
2. Activities designed with the theme of "Street Observation Perspective". Designers chose the public to sit on the roadside railings to design this product.
Inspiration
This product is inspired by observing people's unconscious behaviors, such as half leaning on the table or leaning against the Balustrade.
Project Duration
Designed in Hangzhou, China, 2019
Operation Flow
There are two different sitting positions: one is sitting directly on the top, just like a chair;
The other is the leaning posture, just like leaning on a balustrade.
