About Atlantic 003 라운지 체어
이 라운지 체어는 전통적으로 보안 산업에서 사용되던 소재인 방탄유리를 가구 디자인에 접목하여 소재 활용의 개념을 재정의합니다. 이 의자는 풍성한 볼륨감의 커버링 좌석과 투명한 유리 팔걸이가 대비를 이루어 경쾌함과 우아함을 한층 돋보이게 합니다. 유리 라미네이션에 대한 광범위한 연구를 통해 유리 층 사이에 직물을 통합할 수 있었으며, 이는 견고함과 시각적 섬세함을 하나로 결합했습니다. 그 결과, 기존의 커버링 방식에 도전하고 가정용 가구에서 유리의 역할을 새롭게 재해석한 시대를 초월하는 혁신적인 작품이 탄생했습니다.

- Unique Properties
- This lounge chair redefines material applications by integrating armored glass—a material traditionally used in security industries—into furniture design. Featuring a comfortable seat with back support, it is framed by two transparent armored glass sides that serve as armrests, providing both strength and elegance. Mounted on a rotating base, the chair merges durability with fluid motion. This innovative use of industrial-grade glass in domestic furniture creates a striking and timeless design.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Dimensions: width 900mm x depth 1000mm x height 950mm
- Production Technology
- The chair is crafted using a combination of advanced glass lamination techniques and traditional upholstery. The armrests are made of armored glass, produced by bonding multiple layers for strength and durability. The seat structure is built with high-quality materials for comfort and longevity. Precision engineering ensures seamless integration of glass and fabric, resulting in a refined, durable, and visually striking piece of furniture.

The seat structure is built with high-quality materials for comfort and longevity. Precision engineering ensures seamless integration of glass and fabric, resulting in a refined, durable, and visually striking piece of furniture. - Design Challenge
- The main challenge was adapting armored glass—traditionally used in security applications—into a functional and comfortable furniture piece. Structurally, balancing strength with ergonomic needs required extensive testing. Sourcing high-quality laminated glass and integrating fabric without compromising durability was another hurdle. Socially, the design reinterprets materials beyond their conventional roles, while production demanded precise craftsmanship and specialized bonding techniques to ensure safety and longevity.
- Research
- The research focused on material innovation and ergonomics in furniture design. The objective was to explore the structural potential of armored glass in seating while ensuring comfort and durability. A combination of material testing, prototyping, and user feedback was used. Strength and flexibility tests were conducted on laminated glass, and ergonomic studies involved trial seating experiences. The findings demonstrated that armored glass could provide both support and aesthetic lightness. This research challenges industry norms, inspiring new applications of glass in furniture and influencing sustainable, long-lasting design solutions.
- Inspiration
- This chair is inspired by a bold exploration of materials and forms, challenging conventional upholstery in home furniture. Drawing from the futuristic and avant-garde aesthetics seen in A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey, the design embraces clean lines, transparency, and an almost cinematic presence. Extensive research focused on the structural potential of armored glass, leading to its innovative application in a lounge chair. The result is a timeless piece, detached from fleeting trends.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2024 in Guatemala city and finished in April 2024
