About Florencia ラウンジチェア

Florencia ラウンジチェアは、シームレスなハードウェアジョイントを備えた滑らかな連続フレームを特徴としています。椅子の組み立てをシンプルにすることで、追加の工具、ハードウェア、説明書の必要性が減ります。フック付きのレザーまたはコットンは、くつろぐのに快適で美しい場所を提供します。フック付きの布は重力に頼って座る人を保持し、ユーザーの輪郭に適応するハンモックのような感触を生み出します。シンプルなので椅子の寿命が他の椅子よりも長く、どんな部屋にも簡単に馴染み、掃除も簡単です。

Design Challenge
The hardest of designing the Florencia chair was deciding how the chair would allow for the fabric to hang downward to provide a slouchy hammock feel and still providing structural support in a seemingly thin and delicate design.
Research
The research process began with a mood board, where I researched interior design and orchids that would encase the sensation I wanted to demonstrate. Along with the overall aesthetic, there were points I wanted to raise regarding the lifespan of furniture and having furniture that adapts to a home with an easily interchangeable fabric that requires zero hardware.
Inspiration
The Ghost Orchid, native to South Florida is characterized by its lack of leaves, making it seem like it floats in mid-air. Latching onto tree bark with its roots and swing outward. With its swinging sepals and petals and the feeling of suspension of the levitating flower, the Florencia lounge chair encases this enchanting sensation. The seemingly seamless frame imitated the petals and their direction.
Project Duration
February 2022 and finished in May 2022 College for Creative Studies. Was exhibited at the College for Creative Studies Student Exhibition and Industry Day in May 2022.
Operation Flow
The user simply hooks their chosen fabric over the backrest and slits in the armrest and sinks into the hammock chair. Being able to easily remove the fabric means one can switch out or clean the fabric at ease as well as clean the casted aluminum frame to maintain its luminosity.
