The Design

About Familial Cadeira

Familial é unha cadeira de madeira deseñada para ser usada tanto por nenos como por adultos. Un simple movemento voltea a cadeira e convértea nunha segunda configuración. Deste xeito, unha soa peza de mobiliario serve para dous grupos de idade, o que aforra espazo e reduce a cantidade de material necesario. A xeometría e os ángulos da cadeira foron refinados para manter o asento ergonómico e confortable. Familial responde aos espazos vitais máis reducidos das cidades superpobadas, onde o mobiliario multifuncional resulta útil. O deseño equilibra a aparencia e a función.

Design Challenge
The primary challenge was to design an ergonomic chair by identifying the ideal geometry and then fine-tuning the angles to achieve functionality. The dual objectives of aesthetics (beauty) and performance (function) were served by creating a novel design that balances between the two.
Inspiration
Living in crowded cities has made living spaces smaller. Designers can benefit everyone by designing multi-purpose devices for these smaller spaces. There is no age limitation for using this chair, both children and adults can comfortably use this chair.
Project Duration
The project was began and completed in April 2022 in Tehran, Iran.
Operation Flow
If the chair’s configuration needs to be changed, all that is needed is a simple motion to turn over and convert the chair. The users of the chair will appreciate its user friendliness and its ease of use.
