The Design

About Ryo Kursi Berlengan

Ryo adalah kursi berlengan yang dibentuk sebagai satu bentuk yang berkesinambungan. Gelombang-gelombangnya mengalir dari dudukan hingga sandaran dan menciptakan lengkungan melingkar tanpa terputus. Perancangannya bermula dari pertanyaan apakah sebuah perabot yang umum dapat mengambil bentuk yang lebih bebas. Permukaan tiga dimensi yang kompleks ini sulit diproduksi dan dapat diwujudkan dengan menggunakan kain elastis. Kursi berlengan ini memiliki lebar 725 milimeter, kedalaman 730 milimeter, dan tinggi 800 milimeter. Cangkang melengkungnya memeluk orang yang duduk di atasnya dan menghadirkan unsur pahatan pada ruang.
