Repose 라운지 체어 소개

Repose는 단단한 활엽수 원목으로 제작된 라운지 체어이다. 프레임은 아메리칸 애쉬이며, 좌판과 등받이는 아메리칸 월넛으로 만들어졌다. 깊게 곡선을 이루는 좌판은 모서리를 비스듬히 가공한 목재 조각들을 접합하여 형성되었는데, 이는 나무통을 제작할 때 사용하는 쿠퍼링(coopering) 기법을 극단적으로 발전시킨 방식이다. 안쪽 곡면은 맞춤 제작한 공구로 매끄럽게 가공한 반면, 팔걸이 상단은 분절된 질감을 그대로 살렸다. 뒷다리는 증기 굽힘 기법으로 성형되어 팔걸이를 안정적으로 지지한다. 드로보어 장부 결합은 구조적 강도를 더한다. 오직 원목만으로 쿠션을 덧댄 의자의 편안함에 도달하는 것이 이 디자인의 목표였다.

디자인 비하인드

프레스 킷

디자이너가 제공한 크레딧, 팀원 및 기술 세부 사항.

고유 특성: The Repose lounge chair is constructed from solid timber. The curved form is realized by an extreme form of the 'coopering' process - similar to the process used to construct round barrels from staves of timber.
치수 및 패키징: W 800, D 800, H 830 mm
Constructed from solid hardwood timber. Frame: American Ash. Seat and Back: American Walnut.
Joints use draw bore tenon joints for extra strength
태그: Lounge, chair, wooden, artisanal, Danish, timber, art
생산 기술: This chair is not moulded, as some might expect, but is formed from solid timber. The deep sweeping form of the seat is made by laminating various pieces of timber, with angled edges, to form the desired curves. The inside curves are machined into smooth curves with custom made tooling; but the arm uppers retain some of the segmented feel - smooth enough and yet conveying a sense of where the piece came from. The rear legs are steam bent, to retain the overall simplicity, and to attenuate and stabilize the top part of the chair arms. The backrest is also a curved laminated, solid-wood form. It would also be possible to add a thin seat cushion, or perhaps to re-conceive the entire backrest as a custom moulded leather cushion
디자인 과제: The major unknown was how strong the seat section would be in bending - in other words if someone sat on the arms, would they break? It became apparent that the arms would need additional support given the depth of the form, and the inevitable flexibility (despite steps taken to add strength in the manufacturing process). It was found that the support pins at the rear of the arms were sufficient to stabilize the entire form - which was confirmed through trial and error.
Overall the challenge was to create a lounge chair that, despite being solid timber, would be as comfortable as an upholstered equivalent
연구: The method drew heavily on the methods used in earlier designs (eg Zene submitted last year), but took these to extremes to experiment with the art of the possible.
New tooling was developed, in the form of a type of drum sander run between centres on a woodworking lathe, to machine the large concave curves
영감: The inspirational question behind Repose was: if the design language at the core of the Beke and Zene dining ranges were extended to lounge furniture, what would that look like? Could a form be created out of beautiful solid hardwood timber that was profoundly comfortable even though it may be challenging to manufacture? Could some sort of modern shell design be crafted out of solid timber to yield a beautiful striking new design ?
프로젝트 기간: The project was designed and the first prototype built in 4 weeks, starting Dec 2018 and completing in Jan 2019 in Johannesburg South Africa. The design was refined and built in finished materials (Ash and Walnut) over the following 4 weeks.
운영 흐름: The user settles comfortably down into the seat using the armrests.
Various postures are supported sitting comfortably down in the seat.
Getting back out of the seat is very easy, and facilitated by the arms.
