About Geometric Fauteuil de salon, chaise de salle à manger
Geometric est une chaise conçue pour le salon comme pour la salle à manger. La structure est entièrement réalisée en chêne rouge massif, assemblée par tenons et mortaises taillés selon des angles complexes. L'ossature repose sur trois axes, ce qui confère au siège une allure légère et dynamique tout en préservant sa robustesse. L'assise et le dossier sont inclinés afin d'offrir un maintien confortable. Le rembourrage associe quatre couches de mousse de densités différentes à un système de sangles élastiques, de sorte que l'amorti réagit progressivement au poids du corps. La garniture est réalisée entièrement à la main.

- Tags
- Confortable seat, lounge chair, modern furniture, solid wood, 1960’s style, retro
- Production Technology
- Built entirely of solid red oak wood oak. The joinery is made with mortise and tenon, using complex angles. This piece was designed to achieve the perfect fit and durability for everyday use, it was necessary to use high-tech machinery to produce this piece successfully.
The engineering of the seat and backrest allows a progressive cushioning thanks to the multiple layers of different densities of foam and elastic supports, delivering a smooth and enjoyable feeling. The upholstery was completely handmade, to offer more character and personality. - Design Challenge
- The retro was to develop a processing system and assembly based on the mortise and tenon joinery, that despite the sharp angles had a structure feasible to replicate in mass production with a good fit of vertices and unions.
- Research
- An extensive vector study of engineering was necessary to obtain the assemble system of the pieces without affecting the resistance. This resulted in a light and dynamic look that is seen in this piece, remaining robust and resistant.
- Inspiration
- This collection is inspired by the geometric structures of the industrial era (late nineteenth century), and is mixed with the silhouettes and the spirit of the 60's. It has a modernist zeal and a retro timeless touch, ideal for modern interior environments.
- Project Duration
- This project took 12 weeks from the first sketches to the final prototype for mass production, made in the laboratory and prototype design in Mérida, Yucatán, México.
- Operation Flow
- The padding of the seat, despite being slender, has a progressive reaction so that it adapts to the weight and body shape of the person using it; it has four layers of foam of different densities and a flexible support webbing system to better accommodate ergonomically.
