About Balustrade Seza

Balustrade dia seza natao ho an'ny fialan-tsasatra fohy sy vonjimaika. Ny endriny dia avy amin'ny fihetsika tsy fantatra, toy ny mihazona amin'ny latabatra na mihazona amin'ny balustrade. Ny Balustrade dia manolotra toerana fipetrahana roa. Ny voalohany dia mipetraka mivantana eo amin'ny tampony, toy ny seza. Ny faharoa dia toerana fihazonana, toy ny mihazona amin'ny arofanina. Tsotra ny endriny, ary ny tanjona dia ny fampiasana fohy fa tsy ny fahazoana aina lava. Boaty maromaro no azo ampifanindriana mba hampihenana ny habetsahan'ny fitaterana. Ny seza dia mirefy 620 amin'ny 385 amin'ny 720 milimetatra.

Unique Properties: Balustrade Chair, an unconventional product, is different from the traditional chair and stool. It is designed for a temporary situation. Therefore, designers used a simpler way to realize this thought, while not put much attention on comfort level. In addition, the transport volume can be reduced by overlapping
Dimensions & Packaging: 620 x 385 x 720
Tags: Chair, Stool, Seat, Bar Stool, Bar Chair
Production Technology: Balustrade Chair is a new way of sitting that designers propose to distinguish between chair and stool. Designers of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University believe that the random demand, generated by the masses, is extremely valuable. Most of the demand is generated based on the spontaneous state, which is temporary and random. This randomness creates demands that greatly broaden the definition of many original products.
Design Challenge: The social point of view. It challenges the public's understanding of traditional seats. The using time of this chair is less than 30 minutes, and its main purpose is to rest temporarily.
Technology implementation. The balance between concise form and structure. That is to say, the safety, firmness and service life of people in different physical conditions can be realized.
Research: Through observations and interviews, designers of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University find that the public have other needs and solutions for the "sitting" behavior. After deeply observing the behavior of street people, collecting pictures and analyzing, the pictures puts forward the following suggestions:
1. New form of sitting posture. It's different from sitting completely down and resting. Solve the problem of temporary rest (about 8 minutes of chatting), but it is not a state of complete rest.
2. Activities designed with the theme of "Street Observation Perspective". Designers chose the public to sit on the roadside railings to design this product.
Inspiration: This product is inspired by observing people's unconscious behaviors, such as half leaning on the table or leaning against the Balustrade.
Project Duration: Designed in Hangzhou, China, 2019
Operation Flow: There are two different sitting positions: one is sitting directly on the top, just like a chair;
The other is the leaning posture, just like leaning on a balustrade.
