About ValenOK 안락의자
ValenOK은 서늘한 실내 공간에서 사용하도록 디자인된 안락의자이다. ValenOK의 형태는 양모를 압축해 만든 시베리아 전통 신발인 펠트 부츠에서 착안했다. 프레임은 경량 폴리머로 제작되어 무게를 줄이고 인체공학적인 사용을 뒷받침한다. 충전재는 폴리우레탄이며, 커버링은 쾌적한 온도를 유지하는 데 도움을 주는 양모와 모헤어 소재의 천연 패브릭이다. 팔걸이에는 손을 따뜻하게 보호할 수 있는 작은 벙어리장갑 형태의 주머니가 마련되어 있다. 이 안락의자는 한 손으로도 옮길 수 있을 만큼 가볍다.

- Safe plastic was used to create the frame. Furniture filling polyurethane, and natural wool fabric with mohair content by Pierre Frey.
- Design Challenge
- The main goal of the projects was the idea to embody traditional material, warm emotional component and modern piece of furniture.
- Research
- Saving energy resources today, many people are more responsible for heating their homes and lower the temperature in the room. Referring to the living conditions of previous generations, wanted to use traditional technologies of felting wool in pieces of furniture. Wool is environmentally friendly and helps to keep warm as much as possible. Having tried several methods of felting wool for the production of furniture elements, a compromise option was born using upholstery fabrics made of wool and mohair.
- Inspiration
- In Siberia, in cold seasons, they traditionally used felted wool shoes - felt boots. They served as the prototype for this chair. Like felt boots, the upper layer of the chair is covered with a soft woolen fabric containing mohair. Childhood recollection - they sewed mittens to the kids on an elastic band and passed them through the sleeves so that they would not get lost. Small pockets on the armrests are mittens for your hands.
- Project Duration
- The development of the chair began in September and continued until the end of November 2021 in Moscow, Russia.
- Operation Flow
- This lightweight chair can be moved around the room with one hand. On cooler days, it will keep you warm thanks to its hugging shape and natural fluffy wool upholstery. Your hands will not freeze, they will be warm in the pockets-mittens on the armrests, even during a long time watching your favorite movie.
