About Anima Hvíldarstóll

Anima hvíldarstóllinn er athyglisverð hönnun sem sækir innblástur sinn í form og efni sem finnast í náttúrunni. Með því að leggja áherslu á leikna og samhverfa form leitast hann við að skapa jákvæða upplifun fyrir notendur sína og kalla fram þær uppörvandi tilfinningar sem oft tengjast náttúrulegum þáttum. Hannaður með vandlegri athugun á fjölbreyttum dýra- og jurtaríki Brasilíu umbreytir stóllinn þessum innblæstri í áþreifanlega vöru. Hann endurspeglar áberandi útlínur sem finnast í vistferlum Brasilíu og dregur fram bæði áreiðanleika leikinna eiginleika sinna og glæsileika lífrænna lína.

the design was improved with 3D scanning technology of the physical prototype, facilitating the manufacturing process on the 5 axis CNC and ensuring organic and aesthetic lines that reflect the authenticity of natural forms.
Design Challenge: The greatest challenge was understanding the elements that contribute to nature’s beauty and translating them into an armchair design. We immersed ourselves in observation, sketching organic lines, symmetry, and playful forms found in the natural world. Once the design was finalized, the next step was crafting a prototype using natural materials such as wood and cotton fabric. Working freehand, we constructed the wooden armchair's base, ensuring that the intricate, handmade quality from our drawings was preserved in the final product. This process beautifully linked nature’s essence with our craftsmanship.
Research: Brazil is home to one of the world's richest biodiversities. The objective of our research was to explore and understand the elements that contribute to the beauty of our native flora and fauna. We employed a hands-on approach, venturing into the field to closely observe various plants and animals. As we explored, we sketched our observations, capturing the intricate details and characteristics that make these living beings remarkable. This immersive method not only enhanced our appreciation of nature but also informed our design concepts, allowing us to translate this beauty into our work.
Inspiration: From the shapes and materials of the armchair, the project aims to express the positive experience transmitted in the beauty of nature's playful and symmetrical forms, giving us good feelings, which we experience when we are in contact with natural elements. The Anima armchair was designed based on the observation of aspects present in both Brazilian fauna and flora, with the aim of transmitting the beauty perceived through the interpretation of shapes.
Project Duration: January 2024 and finished June 2024. It was made in Nova Petropolis, Rio Grande do Sul. Brazil
Operation Flow: Imagine sinking into the Anima armchair after a long day. Its organic and natural curves invite you to relax, wrapping you in a cocoon of comfort with the Tauari wood. As you settle in, the playful lines and natural aesthetic create a soothing atmosphere, reminiscent of a serene walk in nature. You might take a moment to enjoy a good book, the chair cradling you like a gentle embrace.
