About Cloud 의자
클라우드는 일본 오키나와섬 해안 위로 내리는 소나기에서 영감을 받은 의자이다. 좌면은 폴리우레탄 폼에 바늘로 폴리에스터 섬유를 찔러 넣어 제작되었으며, 이를 통해 부드러운 구름 같은 외관이 만들어진다. 높은 좌석은 앉은 사람에게 공중에 떠 있는 듯한 느낌을 준다. 거울처럼 광택이 나는 스테인리스 스틸 다리와 받침대는 내리는 비를 표현하는 가느다란 원형 봉으로 이루어져 있다. 봉의 개수, 길이, 지름은 세심하게 결정되었다. 클라우드는 스테인리스 스틸, 폴리에스터 섬유, 목재, 폴리우레탄 폼을 사용해 수작업으로 제작되었다.

- Research
- I feel like the products in the world are now uniform.
Different regions have their own culture and nature.
Among them, I paid attention to nature.
I think of naturally inspired designs.
After that, repeat the verification of the material and structure.
I will announce the created design to the world and aim for commercialization.
I believe that doing so will enrich the uniform world. - Inspiration
- The sky is connected everywhere in the world.
Many people have seen clouds.
A design inspired by nature will resonate with various people.
I live on Okinawa Island south of Japan.
One day, I saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast.
The idea of this chair came up from the scenery at that time. - Project Duration
- The project started in April 2019 and ended in October 2019.
- Operation Flow
- I think there are many people who have imagined when they were children that they could sit on clouds.
I realized that imagination.
Poetic products enrich the emotions of users.
In addition, this product makes the surrounding space visually enjoyable. - Image Credits
