About Motichair Tūru Pā
Ko Motichair he tūru pā i hoahoatia mō te noho me te kōrerorero. Ka whakamahia e te anga ngā porowhita hei hono i ngā tino tautoko, e whakataurite ana i ngā tōpana me te whakaiti i te ngaronga o te rawa. Nā ngā hononga mātihe me te tenon, tae atu ki ngā hononga hiku-kererū e huna katoatia ana, ka pūmau te hanganga. Kua hangaia te tūru ki te rawa whakakotahi muka waro me te rākau i whakapikohia ki te korohū. Ko te āhua i whakaawea mai i ngā pewa me ngā kēti marama i ngā māra tawhito o Haina, ā, ka hoatu e ngā puare porowhita he tirohanga whānui ake. Mā tētahi maimoatanga tae-rua e wehe ai ngā porowhita ki te tirohanga.

- Design Challenge
- Moti chair increases the strength of the chair while reducing the weight and size; take into account the sitting comfort while innovatively adopting a circular skeleton. Which breaks the traditional thoughts on seat structure and the public's understanding of the chair.
- Research
- We recruited 200 volunteers from different regions, ages and genders to participate in the research. After analyzing the differences between their living habits and hip shape, we finally selected the most suitable radians of the curve from 17 models. After research and analysis, we worked out the ideal diameter of the circle that placing two chairs side by side, and the distance between the two circle centers is the most comfortable distance we think people can communicate with.
- Inspiration
- The design is inspired by the arches, moon gate in ancient chinese gardens, the circular holes designation brings broader visual sense, which also implies that there is no barrier between communication. Sitting in the chair, you can free your thoughts and keep your mind flow unobstructed. Besides, this design also syndicates fulfilled and perfect.The idea of the moon inspiration is because of the traditional Chinese festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival.We like to sit on chair and chat with friends and enjoy the moonlight.
- Project Duration
- The Moti chair project starts in December 2019 and was completed in February 2020 in Shenzhen, China.
- Operation Flow
- The chair deliberately adopts a two-color treatment design and separates the circles independently. This special shape will attract people's attention. The distance of the invisible pedals is based on a precise measurement after the person sits on the chair, and this distance just guides people to put their feet on the pedals
