About Ponto アームチェア
Pontoは、限られた空間やさまざまなインテリアに合わせて作られたアームチェアです。デザインは最小限の要素で構成されています。長く伸びる一本の曲線が、構造体、アーム、バックレストを形づくっています。座面とバックレストには張り地が施され、人体に沿った座面形状が快適な座り心地を支えます。外側の構造は無垢材の挽き物で作られ、金属製のパイプ芯材がアーム部分を補強しています。座面はX字形の金属パイプのサポートによって支えられています。挽き物部材の接合部では、異なる樹種や色の木材を組み合わせることも可能です。Pontoは、シートのファミリーシリーズの一つです。

- Production Technology
- The execution of the product is due to the union of technology of a machining center of 6 axes with the use of handcrafted processes. The entire external structure was made of solid wood turned, it took an internal reinforcement in metal to give resistance to part of the arm, and to the assembly, the structure that supports the seat is a metallic X shaped tubular structure, the arms were initially made by hand, around manual and later the drawing passed to the program, being executed by the machining center.
- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge was to be so simple as to stand, was to be different from the products known in the market, without being pretentious, have personality and functionality, small and light, despite being in solid wood, to run we use a wood called Tauari, light although tough, has light color and allows for dyeing.
- Research
- The seemingly simple design contained a huge challenge, to make two big lines hold the whole set, to have a part that followed and turned an arm to support the user, it took some prototypes and tests of resistance, the first arms broke when subjected to weight that an adult human being applies to the sitting and lifting of the chair, then it was necessary to structure with a metal soul internally, but that alone was not sufficient, we had to study how much it should enter and what angle necessary for the solution to work.
- Inspiration
- The motivation was to have a simple and elegant product, while small and versatile to get into any space or decor. The language should be contemporary and universal, the use of wood turned and leather, refers us to brazilian modernism, and the minimal of the piece does not refer to the concept of scandinavian simplicity.
- Project Duration
- The project started in july 2018 and finished february 2019, was exhibited in 35 Paralela Fair in São Paulo, SP, Brazil
- Operation Flow
- The Ponto line is composed of a family of seats, will meet all the seating needs, simply and small, the seat being rounded and having narrow sides offers a large internal space, something that can only be perceived by sitting, thus, as the comfort that provides the anatomical seat.
