About Pinch Sedia
La Pinch Chair è una sedia unibody, impilabile, in plastica che reinventa i design tradizionali con un'estetica fresca più adatta all'architettura e ai paesaggi contemporanei. Progettato con una logica unibody, il foglio di plastica si trasforma in una sedia completa con semplici movimenti di pizzicamento e trazione. Il suo aspetto senza soluzione di continuità e coeso crea un'immagine visiva intuitiva e dinamica. Il design consente l'impilamento durante lo stoccaggio e il posizionamento stabile su un tavolo da pranzo quando capovolto, il che è comodo per il personale del ristorante per pulire il pavimento durante la chiusura.

- Design Challenge
- Designing a chair that satisfies both practical needs and modern aesthetic while also being stackable and easy to clean the floor, requires finding the perfect balance between form and function, which can be a challenging process.
- Research
- Medium2 Studio have observed that many restaurants prefer using plastic chairs for cleaning and maintenance purposes. During our interviews with restaurant owners, Medium2 Studio noticed that they had some common expectations and requirements for plastic chairs. Apart from being stackable for storage convenience, they wanted chairs that could be temporarily lifted off the ground, so that they could clean the floor and put the chairs back without having to clear an entire area of chairs. Finally, they had higher expectations for the design of plastic chairs, hoping that they could enhance or complement the interior decoration of their establishments. Based on these findings, Medium2 Studio have designed the Pinch Chair.
- Inspiration
- Plastic chairs are a common experience in modern people’s lives. They are also a superb example of the practicality and convenience that industrial production brings.
The Pinch Chair starts with the prototype of the traditional plastic chair, then adds a new form factor to make it a better match for modern architecture and design. The chair was designed using a unibody logic, imagining the plastic sheet transforming into a complete chair with simple pinching and pulling moves. - Project Duration
- The project started in January 2021 in Taiwan and finished in May 2021 in taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The Pinch Chair design allows for stacking during storage and stable placement on a dining table when flipped upside down, which is convenient for restaurant staff to clean the floor when closing.
