About The Swing Chair チェア
スウィングチェアは、ブランコから着想を得た椅子です。このデザインは身体の動きに反応し、リラックスと遊びのためのダイナミックなインタラクションを生み出します。座面と背もたれは柔軟で調整可能なため、使用者が好む座り方や動きに追従します。座面と背もたれの角度は120度から133度まで変化させることができます。構造は61×61×61センチメートルの立方体です。フレームにはオーク材、座面と背もたれには合板、揺れる部分にはコットンコードを使用しています。粗いコードが木材との間に摩擦を生み出し、動きを制御された安全なものに保ちます。

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Inspired by the swing, this chair aims to respond with human body movements and create a dynamic interaction with the users - for them to relax and play. The seat and backrest are flexible and adjustable in a way that they are able to follow users’ preferred sitting positions and their movements while sitting. It also has a minimal structure: seat and backrest supported by a simple frame (61x61x61cm), giving the seat floating and chair lightweight.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The chair is in a "perfect cube" structure: 61x61x61cm.

- Production Technology
- The material here I used Oak wood for the structure, plywood for the seat and backrest, cotton cord for the swing, and rubber screw to connect the backrest.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this design is to control the level of movement, which is affected by the design as well as the material. Allowing too much movement would cause a user to fall off the chair. The thick cotton cord has rough texture and thus create good friction with the wood, in this way, it allows the seat to still create movements but in a controlled and safe way.
- Inspiration
- This chair is inspired by the swing. I want to incorporate the playfulness and movement of swing into a chair which is normally considered to have a fixed angle between seat and backrest.
- Project Duration
- This project is completed in Copenhagen in 2017; the duration of design and production took around 2 months.
- Operation Flow
- Both the seat and backrest are adjustable based on user's movement. The angle between the seat and backrest could be adjusted from 120 to 133 degree (please see the image above).
