About Cecilia アームチェア

Ceciliaは、再利用材や廃棄材からつくられたアームチェアです。構造体は余った木材を圧着したスラットで組み上げられ、幅広の脚とゆったりとした座面をもつ形状とすることで、短い端材も活用できるよう設計されています。背もたれは、内部にフォームを入れた柔軟なベースに端切れの布を結び付けて構成され、やわらかなボリュームと快適さを生み出しています。座面には廃棄されたレザーを用い、パッチやディテールを加えることができるため、一脚ごとに異なる表情が生まれます。低く後傾したフォルムは休息へと誘い、北欧スタイルの流れを汲んでいます。

Production Technology
Structure in pressed pieces of wood from reuse, Backseat a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied with a foam inside, and seat made by leather.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to use left over fabric for the backseat and left over wood for the structure. For the backseat we used a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied, creating an aesthetic volume an comfort while in use. For the structure, I designed larger feet and seat, that allowed me to use left over wood slats pressed.
Research
The research was made about types of sustainable and recycled materials, that could work in an aesthetic and functional way.
Inspiration
Inspired on the scandinavian style and with sustainable solutions, the armchair is a tribute to my grandmother, who was in love with handmade works, reflected on the backseat. She also loved nature and was short, that is why the armchair was made in a sustainable way and its design is lower, thought to be easier to use, welcoming and comfortable.
Project Duration
Started in November 2019 in Sao Paulo and finished in january 2020 in Santa Catarina.
Operation Flow
A lower armchair, made of comfortable materials to rest.
