About Cloud Stóll

Cloud er stóll innblásinn af regnskúr sem sást yfir strönd Okinawa-eyju í Japan. Setflöturinn er gerður með því að stinga pólýestertrefjum inn í pólýúretanfrauð með nál, sem skapar mjúkt skýjakennt útlit. Há seta veitir þeim sem situr tilfinningu um að svífa. Spegilfagrir fætur og stallur úr ryðfríu stáli eru mótaðir úr grönnum sívölum stöngum sem tjá fallandi regn. Fjöldi, lengd og þvermál stanganna var vandlega ákvarðað. Cloud er handunninn úr ryðfríu stáli, pólýestertrefjum, viði og pólýúretanfrauði.

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.
Poetic products enrich the emotions of users.
In addition, this product makes the surrounding space visually enjoyable.
