About The Swing Chair 의자
스윙 체어는 그네에서 영감을 받은 좌석입니다. 이 디자인은 신체의 움직임에 반응하여 휴식과 놀이를 위한 역동적인 상호작용을 만들어냅니다. 좌판과 등받이는 유연하고 조절이 가능하여 사용자가 선호하는 착석 자세와 움직임에 따라 자연스럽게 반응합니다. 좌판과 등받이 사이의 각도는 120도에서 133도까지 변화할 수 있습니다. 구조는 61x61x61센티미터의 정육면체 형태입니다. 프레임에는 오크 원목, 좌판과 등받이에는 합판, 스윙 부분에는 면 로프가 사용되었습니다. 거친 로프가 목재와 마찰을 일으켜 움직임을 제어하고 안전하게 유지해 줍니다.

- Unique Properties
- Inspired by the swing, this chair aims to respond with human body movements and create a dynamic interaction with the users - for them to relax and play. The seat and backrest are flexible and adjustable in a way that they are able to follow users’ preferred sitting positions and their movements while sitting. It also has a minimal structure: seat and backrest supported by a simple frame (61x61x61cm), giving the seat floating and chair lightweight.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The chair is in a "perfect cube" structure: 61x61x61cm.

- Production Technology
- The material here I used Oak wood for the structure, plywood for the seat and backrest, cotton cord for the swing, and rubber screw to connect the backrest.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this design is to control the level of movement, which is affected by the design as well as the material. Allowing too much movement would cause a user to fall off the chair. The thick cotton cord has rough texture and thus create good friction with the wood, in this way, it allows the seat to still create movements but in a controlled and safe way.
- Inspiration
- This chair is inspired by the swing. I want to incorporate the playfulness and movement of swing into a chair which is normally considered to have a fixed angle between seat and backrest.
- Project Duration
- This project is completed in Copenhagen in 2017; the duration of design and production took around 2 months.
- Operation Flow
- Both the seat and backrest are adjustable based on user's movement. The angle between the seat and backrest could be adjusted from 120 to 133 degree (please see the image above).
