About Cinque ソファ

Cinqueは、ネジや釘を使わずに簡単に組み立てられる3人掛けソファです。独自のインターロッキング(噛み合わせ)システムにより、工具を使うことなく、必要なときに何度でも手で組み立て・分解ができます。構造体はバーチ合板にFenixを貼り合わせた素材を用い、NC加工によって成形されています。クッションはエコレザーまたは天然素材の手織りファブリックで仕上げられています。ソファのサイズは205×88×73センチメートルで、分解時の高さはわずか10センチメートルとなるため、わずかなスペースに収納できます。インドア用とアウトドア用の2つのバージョンが用意されています。

Production Technology
Birch plywood coupled with Fenix. Numerical control processing of the structure. Cushions in eco-leather and / or natural handmade fabrics.
Design Challenge
In addition to the conception of the interlocking system, the concept of Cinque is to demonstrate that it is possible to reduce the use of plastic and hardware for the creation of large-volume furniture.
Research
The aim of the project is to create a sofa that can be disassembled and reassembled without the aid of tools and hardware, eliminating the plastic in the packaging and that is recyclable. The Cinque sofa is available in both indoor and outdoor versions where it finds its maximum functionality: when in the winter the sofa has no reason to be used outdoors, it can easily be disassembled and put away, taking up minimal space.
Inspiration
In my removals, the sofa was the most difficult and complex piece of furniture to move. Remembering the Legos I had as a child, I wanted to make this object light, removable and not bulky.
Project Duration
The initial project was born in 2013 for a design competition. Exhibited at the Fuori Salone del Mobile in Milan in the same year and at the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna on the occasion of the Design Week. It was reborn in 2021 in collaboration with a local carpentry.
Operation Flow
The sofa, static and bulky furniture, becomes transportable. It can be disassembled and reassembled as often as desired without the need for tools.
