The Design
About Haleiwa ખુરશી
આ હેલિવા સફળ વણાંકોમાં ટકાઉ રત્ન વણાવે છે અને એક અલગ સિલુએટ કાસ્ટ કરે છે. ફિલીપાઇન્સની આર્ટિસ્નલ પરંપરાને પ્રાકૃતિક સામગ્રી અંજલિ આપે છે, જે હાલના સમયમાં રિમેક છે. જોડી, અથવા સ્ટેટમેન્ટ પીસ તરીકે ઉપયોગમાં લેવાયેલી, ડિઝાઇનની વૈવિધ્યતા આ ખુરશીને વિવિધ શૈલીઓ સાથે અનુકૂળ બનાવે છે. ફોર્મ અને ફંક્શન, ગ્રેસ અને તાકાત, આર્કિટેક્ચર અને ડિઝાઇન વચ્ચે સંતુલન બનાવવું, હલેઇવા જેટલું સુંદર છે તેટલું આરામદાયક છે.

Haleiwa ખુરશી અદ્ભુત, આદર્શ, અત્યંત વ્યાવસાયિક અને ઊંડી રીતે નવીન કૃતિ બનશે એવી અપેક્ષા છે. Haleiwa ખુરશી એવી રચના છે જેની ઘણાને ઈર્ષ્યા થાય; તે ઇચ્છાઓ જગાડે છે, સકારાત્મક લાગણીઓ લાવે છે અને આશ્ચર્ય તથા વિસ્મય પેદા કરે છે.
Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Legacy meets contemporary. Grace meets strength. Sweeping curves seamlessly merge with striking lines. Rattan, a pliant material commonly used in indigenous Philippine furniture, gets a modern upgrade when paired with a solid metal frame. This chair's form and weave pay tribute to the rich history of the material and the artisans that have crafted pieces from it, while breaking away from tradition just enough to create a statement.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 640mm width x 850mm depth x 830mm height

- Production Technology
- Rattan is a sustainable material commonly used for weaving due to its durability. A cantilever design would not have been practical, and thus metal framing was used to add stability. As a nod to the handwoven rattan, the metal was manually bent to shape.
- Design Challenge
- Stability was a key concern. The width of the legs that connect the base to the seat posed a challenge. The design of a triangular base was the solution that balanced the structural and aesthetic. Internal support placement also posed a challenge since the design shows all of its skeletal composition. The supports had to be created and then strategically located in order to maximize stability, while being as inconspicuous as possible.
- Research
- The research focus for the Haleiwa was on the balance and stability based on its unconventional form. The optimum placements of supports and dimensions of elements were studied and tested throughout the prototyping period.
- Inspiration
- This piece was inspired by the concept of balance. The balance between strength and fluidity, modern and traditional, complexity and simplicity.
- Project Duration
- The chair was conceptualized in August 2019 and prototype finished October 2019. Designed and manufactured in Manila, Philippines
- Operation Flow
- The chair is wide enough for the user to sit comfortably in any position. Cushions are also provided for additional ease and comfort without distracting from the visual impact.
