About Brace Atpūtas krēsls

Brace ir atpūtas krēsls, kas paredzēts gan lietošanai mājās, gan atpūtai brīvā dabā. Mīkstais sēdeklis ir izgatavots no putuplasta ar auduma apdari, savukārt pamatne ir metāla caurule ar pulverkrāsojuma pārklājumu. Regulējamas siksnas piestiprina spilvenu pie rāmja un tiek noslēgtas ar karabīni. Siksnas piešķir stabilitāti un ļauj veikt individuālu pielāgošanu, piešķirot sēdeklim rotaļīgu un interaktīvu raksturu. Noapaļotas formas un izsmalcinātas detaļas pabeidz kopējo veidolu. Krēsla izmēri ir 740 mm platumā, 900 mm dziļumā un 680 mm augstumā.

Production Technology
The soft part could be made of foam upholstered by fabric. The base is made of a metal tube colored with a powder coating. Additional accessories are made from the fabric of leather.
Design Challenge
To create the Brace Chair, designers had to balance comfort and stability with humor. They conducted surveys and interviews with users to identify their needs, resulting in a belt-like accessory that secures the soft seat to the metal frame. The chair's minimalist, modern design appeals to a broad range of users, providing comfort, stability, and an interactive element that can enhance well-being.
Research
Through a series of surveys and in-depth interviews, design research revealed that modern users prioritize comfort and stability in seating solutions. The Brace Lounge Chair was created to address these needs while providing a unique user experience. Its belt-like accessory secures the soft seat, reducing stress and enhancing stability while incorporating humor. This research-driven approach distinguishes the Brace Lounge Chair from other seating solutions.
Inspiration
The Brace armchair is inspired by the effortless style of the modern urbanite, this piece seamlessly blends form and function to deliver a truly unique and alluring seating experience. From its sleek lines to its tasteful accessory, this armchair is the perfect embodiment of understated elegance and a true standout in the world of design.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2023
Operation Flow
The Brace Lounge Chair is designed to be a simple and user-friendly experience. The soft seat is attached to the metal frame with the help of a belt-like accessory. To operate the chair, the user simply sits down on the soft seat and pulls the belt around the back of the frame, securing it in place with a carabiner.
This innovative accessory transforms the chair from a standard lounge seat into a comfortable and stable seating experience. The interaction between the user and the chair is made more interactive and playful with the belt, adding a sense of humor to the design.
