The Design

About Poufs With 1000 Ways to Arranged Pouf

Chairry est un système de poufs modulaires conçu pour les intérieurs partagés et les espaces publics. Chaque pouf adopte une forme de part de tarte, ce qui permet d'assembler plusieurs éléments pour composer des carrés, des cercles et de nombreuses autres configurations. Un pouf seul offre une assise individuelle, tandis qu'une disposition circulaire favorise les échanges en groupe. Chaque assise est constituée d'un noyau en polystyrène découpé à la machine en trois dimensions, renforcé de contreplaqué puis recouvert de mousse et de molleton. Chaque élément mesure 650 mm de largeur, 650 mm de profondeur et 450 mm de hauteur. Lorsqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés, les poufs peuvent être empilés et rangés dans un espace réduit.

Production Technology
As far as design methodology, the his initial design focus was multi-functionality and storage efficiency. The designer's furniture can be rearranged to suit the need of the user. When not in use, the poufs can be arranged or stacked stylistically in a discrete location. Secondly, the designer wanted to focus on ergonomics and comfort.
Each pouf seats made of a piece of 3D machine cut polystyrene strengthened with plywood and covered with foam and fleece.
Design Challenge
The making skill is a difficult challenge. The designer visited tatami maker, bamboo artist, grass weaving studio. None of them could make pie shape furniture, not to mention link them together. After surveying many places, the designer decided to use fleece fabric for sitting comfort concern.
Research
As cutting a pie, the designer moved each piece as if the pie shapes were connected together and made a square. Then he thought about what he could make using this design idea. Initially, the designer thought about creating a children's toy. Finally, he decided to create something where people could rearrange modules to suit their need. This could incorporate functionality with individual creativity.
Inspiration
When cutting a circular piece of paper into slices and playing with them , the pieces fell into so many shapes and patterns while connected to each other so the idea grew to make a child's toy. This developed into building a toy for adults to play with, therefore Chairry was born.
Project Duration
The project started in April, 2019 in Taipei and finished in August, 2019 in the same location.
Operation Flow
Unlike an open space with an ordinary pouf, these poufs can be set up stylistically in eye catching patterns for interior decoration or used functionally in a circular formation for peoples’ interaction as well as separated into smaller groups of two or three for persons’ privacy.
