About Scallop Cathedra Otiosa Scallop
Scallop cathedra otiosa est, ex forma conchae pectinis apertae inspirata. Sedile et dorsum curvata ex lamina chalybis inoxidabilis facta sunt, dum crura et brachiola ex filo chalybis inoxidabilis calide flexo formantur. Omnes partes ferruminatione inter se iunguntur. Superficies metallica tractatione quae corrosionem aeris imitatur perficitur. Dorsum perforatum est ut aeris fluxus augeatur et pondus minuatur. Tegmina brachiolorum ex corio manu suta atque pulvinus commoditatis gratia adduntur. Scallop tam ad legendum quam ad theam bibendam et ad usum officii aptum est, sive intra sive extra aedes.

- Production Technology
- The furniture is mainly made of stainless steel plate and wire rod, matched with leather handrail and cushion. The metal part is treated with stainless steel corrosion. The stainless steel plate adopts stamping or bending process, the stainless steel wire rod adopts hot bending process, the back hole reduces the weight of the furniture, and the supporting leg structure is connected with the handrail by welding process, Ensure the support strength of furniture.
- Design Challenge
- In terms of retaining the overall shape of the shell, the curve radian more in line with the human body is designed to make the leg support more reasonable and beautiful into the overall shape, and minimize the weight of the furniture on the basis of retaining the large-area metal design.
- Research
- The chair body is inspired by the scallop with flexible shape. The arc chair surface and backrest made of stainless steel plate and the chair legs made of stainless steel wire are completed by welding process. The structure is innovated with the simplest appearance. The whole is completed by welding process. The surface treatment adopts imitation copper corrosion process to make the whole more elegant, Like a shell, it emits glittering and translucent luster in the mottled.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration comes from the stretched scallop, which is also the origin of the name of the chair. The seat surface and back are slightly bent to fit the human body. The bending of the legs also conforms to the fluidity of marine organisms and produces a beautiful shape when the support strength allows. At the same time, with stainless steel as the main production material, the use environment is broader.
- Project Duration
- The design had started in Shenyang in March 2021, completed in Shenyang in June 2021, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The leisure seat is suitable for reading, drinking tea and other leisure activities, and can also be used for office. The radian of the seat surface fits the human body, the back is breathable, and the overall shape is light. It is suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces. It has strong weather resistance, stable color, no conflict with the environment, simple shape, and can be well integrated into various environmental styles.
