The Design

About Vague Cadeira sen respaldo

Vague é unha cadeira sen respaldo formada por curvas estruturais continuas. Cada ángulo de visión revela unha composición harmoniosa diferente. Vague está feita de tubos de aceiro cun diámetro de 5/16 de polgada, moldeados mediante curvado e unidos por soldadura. A superficie recibe un acabado de pintura electrostática ou un revestimento de cobre. As dimensións son 400 mm de ancho, 390 mm de profundidade e 420 mm de alto. As curvas inspiráronse nas ondulacións dunha pinga de auga que cae nun río e na estrutura das follas. Vague pode usarse como asento ou como obxecto decorativo.

Unique Properties: Vague is a de-constructed stool with structural curves which form its shape. An astonishing piece of furniture, for every different angle from which it is seen reveals a harmonious composition.

The metal-cast stools bring out the poetry of what was the sketch inception; lines previously drawn morph into tubes and highlight the environment as a ready-to-enjoy object of art.

Production Technology: Vague uses as material steel tubes with 5/16 inch diameter and the production is made by bending and welding (TIG type).
After that, it receives an electrostatic paint or a copper coating finish.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of creating Vague was the cad 3d modeling.
Several studies have been done to achieve the perfect shape.
Research: Vague was inspired by nature, combining the structure of the leaves with the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape.
Inspiration: Vague is French for wave - a name inspired by the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape. The piece’s visual lightness embraces only the bare essential for its purpose, and that inspiration stemmed from carefully observing nature’s wisdom.
Project Duration: Vague was designed in São Paulo on April 2020 and has been produced in southern Brazil since August.
Operation Flow: Vague can be used as a simple stool but also as a piece of art, as its beauty creates a great highlight on environments.
