The Design

About Cecilia Naslonjač

Cecilia je naslonjač izrađen od ponovno upotrijebljenih i odbačenih materijala. Konstrukcija je izrađena od prešanih letvica preostalog drva, oblikovana sa širokim nogama i širokim sjedalom kako bi se mogli iskoristiti kratki ostaci. Naslon za leđa oblikovan je od malih komada preostale tkanine vezanih za fleksibilnu podlogu s pjenom iznutra, stvarajući mekani volumen i dodatnu udobnost. Sjedalo je izrađeno od odbačene kože, koja može primiti zakrpe i detalje, tako da je svaki naslonjač jedinstven. Niski i nagnuti oblik poziva na odmor i slijedi skandinavski stil.

Tags: armchair, sustainable, recycled, reuse, design, scandinavian
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.
