The Design

About Relax Šezlong

Relax je nastao za privatnog klijenta koji je želio postići potpuno opuštanje, prostor za odmaranje daleko od stresnog svakodnevnog života. Iako je fokus bio na funkciji namještaja, on bi istovremeno služio kao detalj interijera, stoga je poseban naglasak stavljen na stilska svojstva. Šezlong je dizajniran kao višenamjenski komad namještaja s ugrađenim prostorom za pohranu knjiga i prostranim bočnim stolićima, sve spojeno u jednu cjelinu. Lagani detalji bili su u kontrastu s teškim, a boje su kombinirane kako bi se stvorila atmosfera potpunog spokoja.

Production Technology: The design was developed from a user-centered perspective where both stylistic and functional requirements were set. It is made of lacquered veneer to create a nice wooden surface without having to use excessive amounts of wood. The reason it was lacquered white was to create a piece of furniture conducive to a quiet sophisticated room that simultaneously meets the user's requirements.
Design Challenge: The challenge of this project was to create a design that was well united with the customer's requirements for quality, design, and function. A design that at the same time would be harmonious with the character and era of the property and match well with the design character of the client's home.
Research: The research method used was user-centered where the focus was the user's needs and requirements for the design. The objectives established during this project were to create a quiet place for the customer, design a piece of furniture that becomes a natural part of the room, and create a design with low cost. During the assignment, raw data was collected through interviews and meetings with the customer to ensure that all needs were determined, then different concepts were developed, they were compared with each other and then improved and resulted in the best solution that the customer approved
Inspiration: The design is inspired by the heaviness of everyday life and the constant search for shielding from reality. Relax is created with sturdy details in contrast to light slender ones. The heavy legs symbolize the weight we humans carry and the light seat surface symbolizes our need to allow ourselves to be carried and recharge energy.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2021 in Stockholm and finished in September the same year, it was placed in a private customer's apartment in Stockholm.
Operation Flow: Imagine coming home after a long day at work. The feeling of autumn penetrates through the walls. You make your way into the living room, step up to the edge of the chaise longue and turn on the lamp that stands firmly on the armrest. You gently let the weight of your body move over the soft cushion, allowing yourself to be carried by the massive body of the chaise longue. You lean the head heavily against the pillow and gently reach to grab your favorite book from the integrated bookcase. Only now can you experience the feeling of complete relaxation.
