About Zero Tolg Gréine

Tolg gréine modúlach is ea Zero atá deartha do limistéir lasmuigh. Luíonn an suíochán ar thaca sorcóireach, a chothromaíonn an tolg agus a chruthaíonn eilimint dhealbhóireachta. Tagann an sorcóir i dhá fhad mhodúlacha, 0.90 méadar agus 1.80 méadar, ionas gur féidir tolg amháin nó roinnt aonad a chomhcheangal. Is féidir na píosaí a chur ar thaobhanna contrártha nó ar an taobh céanna, rud a fheileann do go leor leagan amach i dtithe, in óstáin agus i limistéir linne snámha. Tá an sorcóir déanta as adhmad soladach Cumaru scriúáilte le croí alúmanaim. Tá cuar anatamaíoch ar an suíochán múnlaithe alúmanaim le haghaidh compoird.

Tags
Brazilian wood, comfortable lounger, new design, unique solution for a lounger, sculptural design, external area, resistant.
Production Technology
The cylindrical part is composed of solid Cumaru wood, a resistant Brazilian wood that has a good performance in the external area, the slatted wood is screwed to an internal aluminum core. The lounger was molded in aluminum, received electrostatic painting and synthetic cast canvas. The seat has an anatomical curve, which provides comfort to the user.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was to find the right and comfortable curve for the user to lie on the piece.
Research
The research took place in the main field of finding the necessary comfort and angle for the curve of the chaise, it was necessary to simulate the body in a semi-lying position to find the position, after this search for the best design, it was necessary to study the best way to structure the two pieces, the cylinder that needed a metallic soul, and the deck chair that needed reinforcement on the bottom, but in a convex shape so as not to touch the user's body and bring discomfort.
Inspiration
The simple geometry of the circle inspired the creation of this product, which was born from a free sketch. The main piece, which is a seat, rests on the tubular piece, which in addition to supporting and balancing the lounger, creates a provocative and sculptural element.
Project Duration
The project was conceived in September 2018 in São Paulo, the prototype started in September 2019 in São Paulo, being presented at the launch of the Mais 55 Design brand in São Paulo in June 2020 through a live presentation on Casa Vogue Brasil's Instagram.
Operation Flow
The main piece, which is the sun lounger, has a curve in the headboard that does not reach the floor, the piece's sustenance occurs in the fitting and support of the cylindrical piece, thus forming a harmonious set between two different materials, with different shapes.
