About Less is More Te Tuuru

Ko te hiringa mo tenei heamana he whakarāpopototanga o te mate urutaru i pa ki nga tau tata nei me nga akoranga i akohia. Ko te hoahoa i nga wa katoa e tohu ana i nga ahuatanga hapori, a, i enei ra me tohu tetahi hua ki enei waahanga matua penei i te whakamarie, te kore taikaha, me te pumau tonu atu i era atu. Ko te ngawari te mea tino uaua ki te whakatutuki. Ki te ngawari he mea tika ki te whakakore i nga taapiri me nga mea kaore e tika ana ka taea tenei i roto i te oranga me te hoahoa. Ko te hua he tuuru iti, huatau, toimau.

Production Technology
Produced in 2021. It took a few months to develop the prototype and to achieve the best results. The chair is handmade using sustainable wood and has a high-quality level.
Design Challenge
To reach the expected result, it was necessary to make several adjustments to the prototype. The piece has a backrest with anatomical and organic curves. Both the curvature of the wood and how to adjust the foam and seams were challenging. The goal was to create a piece with a high level of comfort and light lines.
Research
We use handmade woodcraft technic, including bending wood.
We also have to research bout seams and finishing.
Inspiration
A summary of the pandemic experienced in recent years and the lessons learned. The design has always represented social aspects and nowadays a product needs to represent more than ever these key elements such as comfort, not excess, and sustainability. This concept was the inspiration for this chair. The lines are minimalist and simple but still invite the user to sit down and enjoy the present moment.
