- Production Technology
- The main structure is made from a reinforced bent wooden material. Leg support is made from chrome. Soft cubes are created from memory foam covered with fabric.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part was to decide which mechanism to use for changing the armchair pattern (moving the elements). Sliding elements was the most complicated method. Previous versions of the chair was based on attaching the soft parts to the back using magnets or Velcro.
- Research
- The main research was about the shape. It was simulated physically and then tested. Strength analysis were also applied using Finite element method (FEA).
- Inspiration
- Sometimes an unpredictable development or change of circumstances could happen, good or bad mood, unexpected guest, even the vagaries of weather. You can express you attitude by giving your interior new look. Nice and tidy, aggressive and chaotic, extravagant and erratic... you can express your mood by surrounding furniture.
- Project Duration
- The very first concept was created last summer. After several revisions the shape and function have been changed dramatically. 4 months were necessary to reach the final look. Location is Bulgaria.
- Operation Flow
- The soft elements of the armchair are movable. Between the bended back and soft parts there is a layer with grid attached to the main board. The soft elements can slide from one position to another and create different patterns according your desire.
