About Cecilia Cathaoir uilleann

Is cathaoir uilleann í Cecilia atá déanta as ábhair athúsáidte agus caite. Tá an struchtúr tógtha as slata brúite d'fhuíoll adhmaid, múnlaithe le cosa leathana agus suíochán fairsing ionas gur féidir gearrthóga gearra a úsáid. Cruthaítear an droim tacaíochta as píosaí beaga d'fhuíoll éadaigh atá ceangailte le bunáit sholúbtha le cúrán istigh, rud a chruthaíonn toirt bhog agus compord breise. Tá an suíochán déanta as leathar caite, ar féidir paistí agus mionsonraí a chur air, mar sin tá gach cathaoir uilleann uathúil. Tugann an cruth íseal luí cuireadh chun scíthe agus leanann sé stíl Lochlannach.

Production Technology: Structure in pressed pieces of wood from reuse, Backseat a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied with a foam inside, and seat made by leather.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to use left over fabric for the backseat and left over wood for the structure. For the backseat we used a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied, creating an aesthetic volume an comfort while in use. For the structure, I designed larger feet and seat, that allowed me to use left over wood slats pressed.
Research: The research was made about types of sustainable and recycled materials, that could work in an aesthetic and functional way.
Inspiration: Inspired on the scandinavian style and with sustainable solutions, the armchair is a tribute to my grandmother, who was in love with handmade works, reflected on the backseat. She also loved nature and was short, that is why the armchair was made in a sustainable way and its design is lower, thought to be easier to use, welcoming and comfortable.
Project Duration: Started in November 2019 in Sao Paulo and finished in january 2020 in Santa Catarina.
Operation Flow: A lower armchair, made of comfortable materials to rest.
