About Nina & Beni Cathaoir
Is cathaoir adhmaid sholadaigh í Nina & Beni a fuair inspioráid ó fhoirmeacha struchtúir bád adhmaid. Tá dhá stiall gal-lúbtha ag síneadh amach thar an suíochán mar starrmhaidí, ag feidhmiú ar dtús mar chosa, ansin mar thaca uillinne, agus ar deireadh ag múnlú go dtí an limistéar lumbach. Déantar an chathaoir as fuinseog, crann silíní, dair nó gallchnó ó fhoraoisí a fhaightear go hinbhuanaithe, agus críochnaítear í le holaí agus céaracha nádúrtha. Treoraíonn múnlaí a ghearrtar ar mheaisín cúig ais an lúbadh gaile agus lannú na stiallacha adhmaid. Tá an suíochán inbhainte agus in-idirmhalartaithe. Cuireann an modh múnlaithe teorainn le cur amú ábhair.

Finish: Natural oils and waxes - Tags
- Steam bending, solid wood, sustainable, chair design
- Production Technology
- To achieve the complex geometry of the Nina & beni chair we use a 5 axis CNC to cut 2 molds which we then use to steam bend the solid wood strips to their form. We then use another set of cnc-cut counter molds to make the 3d lamination.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part was designing and building the 3 dimensional molds needed to build the chair.
- Research
- Sustainability is my design objective.
I use wood because it is the best short carbon cycle material, the complex shapes are steam-bent so as to create as little waste as possible.
These pieces are made from quality materials and designed to last a lifetime. - Inspiration
- Inspired by the efficient yet beautiful forms of wooden naval structures. Boat building achieves aerodynamic forms that take advantage of the trees grain with little waste.
- Project Duration
- This project started in September 2019, was exhibited at The Stockholm Furniture fair in January then at the London design fair in September
- Operation Flow
- Solid wood chair meant to last a lifetime
Seat is removable and interchangeable. - Image Credits
