About Silhouette 다이닝 체어
건축가 조아나 산토스 바르보사(Joana Santos Barbosa)가 디자인한 실루엣(Silhouette)은 여성의 관능적인 곡선을 연상시키는 시선을 사로잡는 다이닝 체어입니다. 악기를 자신의 신체 일부로 가진 음악가처럼 하나의 차원에 여러 현실을 담아낸 20세기 예술가들의 영향을 받아, 조아나는 이러한 통합적 차원을 놀라울 만큼 우아한 디자인으로 구현했습니다. 어두운 프레임 구조는 의자에 앉은 여성의 엉덩이 움직임을 드러내고, 곡선형 좌석은 사람을 초대하는 듯한 미소를 그려냅니다. 실루엣은 서사와 상징성을 지니고 있으며 진정으로 매혹적입니다.

- Beech wood structure frame with translucent dark brown finish in high gloss varnish and luxury soft fabric with gold accents.
- Design Challenge
- The creative process of this chair was one of the most "suffered" among the pieces in Joana Santos Barbosa's portfolio. In fact, the design of this chair took more than two years to be completed between back and forth in the process because it carries such a strong symbolism that she wanted to transform it into a clean and sensual design.
The beech wood structure was hand crafted and carved to bring to mind the profile of a female body and was given a translucent brown finish that naturally stands out on the soft beige upholstery with fine golden threads that represent the delicacy of the female personality. - Research
- The design of the Silhouette dining chair was influenced by the sensuality of a woman's curves. Both the woman and the functional object seem to merge naturally. It is thus possible to admire this integration in the surrounding perspectives of the chair, with special focus on the back, in which we identify parts of a body that seem to be living in the object.
The creative process was based on some works by twentieth century painters who applied the same technique of representing people and objects in a single dimension. However, working on the design of the chair in three dimensions, its development was carried out in full-scale prototypes, in order to get a functional and sensual final design that conveyed all its inspiration in an elegant look. - Inspiration
- The representation of several realities seen simultaneously from a single point of view has become fascinating for several twentieth century artists like Paul Klee who drawn musicians and fragments of their musical instruments as an integral part of their own bodies.
The joint dimension of people and objects strongly influenced the Silhouette dining chair, whose elegant wooden structure uncovers parts of a woman’s body who sits on it. - Project Duration
- Since the first sketch, the design took more than two years to be fully developed. The production is entirely made in the city of Porto, located in the north of Portugal.
- Operation Flow
- Being a chair made of a single structure in solid wood, the object cannot be manipulated to acquire other forms. This chair was specially designed for dining spaces that appreciate the high quality of manual manufacturing processes and luxurious finishes.
