About Mama コミュニティチェア

Mamaは、会議室、研修室、待合スペース、屋外空間などのコミュニティスペースに向けてデザインされたスタッキングチェアです。肘掛けの有無を選ぶことができ、横方向に連結して並べることも可能です。ガラス繊維を20パーセント配合した強化ポリアミドによるモノコック構造が一体成形のボディを形成し、完全にリサイクル可能です。背もたれの表面には丸みを帯びたマイクロレリーフが施され、接触面積を減らして身体の自然な発散を促します。曲面形状によりエルゴノミックな快適性を確保しています。最大10脚まで垂直にスタッキングできます。

Production Technology
It’s made with a monocoque structure in polyamide reinforced with 20 percent glass fiber. The backrest has an original surface characterized by rounded micro reliefs designed to reduce the supporting surface, thus favoring the natural transpiration of the body. The curves and inclination of all surfaces ensure maximum ergonomic comfort. The design of the armrests, as well as that of the structure of the legs and their particular inclination, have been conceived to optimize the vertical stacking of up to 10 chairs; the joint system has also been optimized to connect the seats horizontally both with and without armrests.
Design Challenge
Making a chair in a single plastic body has some technical difficulties due to the characteristics that a community chair must have. Calculating thicknesses, comply with all the international rules and standards and keep an attractive design is the real challenge.
Research
Analysis of chairs on the market with similar proposals and features. Our intent was to reduce the components to achieve the same goal.
Inspiration
The main source of inspiration was making a lightweight chair in single-piece. The seatback has a surface inspired by the surface of the sea.
Project Duration
The project startet in March 2020 in Ponsacco (PI) and finished in December 2021 in Ponsacco (PI)
Operation Flow
Mama has all the characteristics of the community chair: combinable in rows, stackable, with and without armrests.
