About Dcl Seza

Ny Dcl dia seza vita tanteraka amin'ny fiberboard mafy be (high density fiberboard). Ny ampahany rehetra dia tapahina amin'ny milina CNC router. Ny seza dia lokoina amin'ny loko mamirapiratra tokana, ary azo ampiharina ny loko rehetra. Raha jerena avy lavitra, ny Dcl dia toa vongana kioba misy loko tokana fa tsy seza. Ny famolavolana dia manaraka fandalinana seza nataon'ny mpanao mari-trano sy mpamorona italiana Cesare Leonardi, izay nijanona ho maodely hazo fotsiny ary tsy novokarina mihitsy. Ny anarana hoe Dcl dia midika hoe Dopo Cesare Leonardi, izany hoe Aorian'i Cesare Leonardi. Ny seza dia mirefy 55 x 50 x 70 santimetatra.

Unique Properties
It's a chair made entirely of HDF and painted with a bright solid color - any color - and looks like, when spotted, almost not a chair but a sort of a cubic block of solid massive color.

55 x 50 x 70 cm
Tags
chair, concept chair, contemporary chair, basic chair, colorful chair
Production Technology
HDF cut in a CNC router.
Design Challenge
In this particular case, there was not "a hardest part of design", which is very rare in any of my designs.
Research
I simply found in the internet a photo of one interesting study of chair made by the Italian architect and designer Cesare Leonardi. Since Leonardi's chair was not developed nor produced, I thought I could "devevelop it, as I was a Leonardi's team member, and started make a model of of it, changing material, changing form and proportions and making it in a more logic way, seaching for a better proportion and confort for a chair of plain HDF (Leonardi's chair was made of solid wood). The result: my chair is very basic, more logic than Leonardi's; my chair is a concept chair. DCL means Dopo Cesare Leonardi (After Cesare Leonardi).
Inspiration
My inspiration was a chair study made by Cesare Leonardi, an Italian architect and designer. Leonardi's chair was nothing more than a wooden model and was not developed nor produced.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2025 in São Paulo and finished in October 2025.
Operation Flow
It's a chair.
Patents
The design was registered at IAB (Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil)
