About Minimal Techno Kursi Berlengan

Minimal Techno adalah prototipe kursi berlengan yang dibuat dari baja padat daur ulang dan lantai kayu keras bambu yang dimanfaatkan kembali. Rangkanya memiliki lapisan hitam matte, dan sekrup kuningan berhasil sikat (brushed brass) menahan bilah-bilah bambu tetap pada tempatnya. Baja tipis dan bambu memberikan fleksibilitas pada dudukan, sehingga kursi tetap nyaman saat digunakan untuk duduk dalam waktu lama. Strukturnya kuat dan telah diuji mampu menahan beban di atas 250 pon. Minimalisme Jepang dan pemanfaatan ruang negatif menjadi pemandu bentuknya. Hanya tiga material yang digunakan, sehingga kursi berlengan ini tetap sederhana untuk direproduksi.

Unique Properties
This is a prototype arm chair which is constructed from recycled solid steel and repurposed bamboo hardwood flooring. It has a matte black coating with brushed brass screws to hold the bamboo slats in place. The design is meant to feel delicate, yet strong and robust. Because of the thin steel and bamboo, this design has amazing flexibility and is quite comfortable to sit in for long periods of time.

Production Technology
This is the first arm chair I have brought to fruition. I wanted it to make a statement piece and be sustainable. all of the materials except the screws are from recycled material. I am still sourcing recycled brass to make this a fully recycled product. The chair consists of only three materials, which makes it easy to reproduce. I am looking into ways to make this product more compact for shipping purposes when it goes to production.
Design Challenge
The biggest problem with the design of this arm chair, was to find a way to have a comfortable and delicate, yet strong arm chair while using the least amount of materials. Thus using solid steel and hard wood was the way to go to achieve the desired effect. Light, flexible, sleek and strong.
Inspiration
Japanese minimalism and the use of negative space are the main inspirations for this project.
Project Duration
This project was conceived in Vancouver, Canada on march 26 2021 and completed on march 30TH 2021
Operation Flow
This design was made with the use of negative space being in the forefront. It is designed to feel as though not much space is being consumed, yet has a large presence. the construction is very strong and can hold weights that exceed 250lbs as tested.
