About The Swing Chair Chèz

Chèz Balanse a se yon syèj ki enspire pa balansin. Konsepsyon an reponn a mouvman kò a epi li kreye yon entèraksyon dinamik pou detant ak jwe. Syèj la ak dosye a fleksib e ajistab, kidonk yo swiv pozisyon chita ak mouvman itilizatè a prefere. Ang ki genyen ant syèj la ak dosye a ka chanje soti nan 120 rive 133 degre. Estrikti a se yon kib ki mezire 61x61x61 santimèt. Bwa fenn (chenn) itilize pou fè kadr la, plywood pou syèj la ak dosye a, epi kòd koton pou pyès ki balanse yo. Kòd graj la kreye friksyon ak bwa a, sa ki kenbe mouvman an kontwole e san danje.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Inspired by the swing, this chair aims to respond with human body movements and create a dynamic interaction with the users - for them to relax and play. The seat and backrest are flexible and adjustable in a way that they are able to follow users’ preferred sitting positions and their movements while sitting. It also has a minimal structure: seat and backrest supported by a simple frame (61x61x61cm), giving the seat floating and chair lightweight.
Dimensions & Packaging: The chair is in a "perfect cube" structure: 61x61x61cm.
Tags: Chair, Sustainable, Playful, Moveable Seats, Swing
Production Technology: The material here I used Oak wood for the structure, plywood for the seat and backrest, cotton cord for the swing, and rubber screw to connect the backrest.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design is to control the level of movement, which is affected by the design as well as the material. Allowing too much movement would cause a user to fall off the chair. The thick cotton cord has rough texture and thus create good friction with the wood, in this way, it allows the seat to still create movements but in a controlled and safe way.
Inspiration: This chair is inspired by the swing. I want to incorporate the playfulness and movement of swing into a chair which is normally considered to have a fixed angle between seat and backrest.
Project Duration: This project is completed in Copenhagen in 2017; the duration of design and production took around 2 months.
Operation Flow: Both the seat and backrest are adjustable based on user's movement. The angle between the seat and backrest could be adjusted from 120 to 133 degree (please see the image above).
