About Cloud Chèz

Cloud se yon chèz ki enspire pa yon lapli ki te wè sou kòt zile Okinawa nan Japon. Sifas pou chita a fèt lè yo pike fib polyester nan kim poliyiretàn ak yon zegwi, sa ki kreye yon aparans dous tankou nyaj. Yon chita ki wo bay moun ki chita a yon sansasyon flote. Pye an asye inoksidab tankou miwa ak yon baz fòme ak ba won mens ki eksprime lapli k ap tonbe. Kantite, longè ak dyamèt ba yo te detèmine avèk anpil atansyon. Cloud fèt alamen ak asye inoksidab, fib polyester, bwa ak kim poliyiretàn.

Design Challenge: In addition, the number, length, and diameter of stainless steel round bars that express rain were carefully determined.
Research: I feel like the products in the world are now uniform.
Different regions have their own culture and nature.
Among them, I paid attention to nature.
I think of naturally inspired designs.
After that, repeat the verification of the material and structure.
I will announce the created design to the world and aim for commercialization.
I believe that doing so will enrich the uniform world.
Inspiration: The sky is connected everywhere in the world.
Many people have seen clouds.
A design inspired by nature will resonate with various people.
I live on Okinawa Island south of Japan.
One day, I saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast.
The idea of this chair came up from the scenery at that time.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 and ended in October 2019.
Operation Flow: I think there are many people who have imagined when they were children that they could sit on clouds.
I realized that imagination.
