About Geometric ラウンジチェア、ダイニングチェア
Geometricは、ラウンジ用およびダイニング用として設計された椅子である。フレームはすべて無垢のレッドオーク材で構成され、複雑な角度で加工されたほぞ組（мortise and tenon）によって接合されている。構造は三つの軸によって成り立っており、これにより強度を保ちながらも軽やかで躍動感のある佇まいを生み出している。座面と背もたれは快適に身体を支えるよう傾斜が付けられている。クッション材は密度の異なる4層のフォームとエラスティックウェビングを組み合わせており、体重に応じて段階的に反応するクッション性を実現している。張り地の仕上げは手作業によるものである。

- Production Technology
- Built entirely of solid red oak wood oak. The joinery is made with mortise and tenon, using complex angles. This piece was designed to achieve the perfect fit and durability for everyday use, it was necessary to use high-tech machinery to produce this piece successfully.
The engineering of the seat and backrest allows a progressive cushioning thanks to the multiple layers of different densities of foam and elastic supports, delivering a smooth and enjoyable feeling. The upholstery was completely handmade, to offer more character and personality. - Design Challenge
- The retro was to develop a processing system and assembly based on the mortise and tenon joinery, that despite the sharp angles had a structure feasible to replicate in mass production with a good fit of vertices and unions.
- Research
- An extensive vector study of engineering was necessary to obtain the assemble system of the pieces without affecting the resistance. This resulted in a light and dynamic look that is seen in this piece, remaining robust and resistant.
- Inspiration
- This collection is inspired by the geometric structures of the industrial era (late nineteenth century), and is mixed with the silhouettes and the spirit of the 60's. It has a modernist zeal and a retro timeless touch, ideal for modern interior environments.
- Project Duration
- This project took 12 weeks from the first sketches to the final prototype for mass production, made in the laboratory and prototype design in Mérida, Yucatán, México.
- Operation Flow
- The padding of the seat, despite being slender, has a progressive reaction so that it adapts to the weight and body shape of the person using it; it has four layers of foam of different densities and a flexible support webbing system to better accommodate ergonomically.
