The Design

About Cecilia Poltruna

Cecilia hija poltruna magħmula minn materjali użati mill-ġdid u mormija. L-istruttura hija mibnija minn twavel ippressati ta' injam żejjed, iffurmati b'saqajn wesgħin u sedil wiesa' biex jintużaw biċċiet qosra li jibqgħu. Id-dahar huwa ffurmat minn biċċiet żgħar ta' drapp żejjed marbutin ma' bażi flessibbli b'fowm ġewwa, li joħolqu volum artab u komfort miżjud. Is-sedil huwa magħmul minn ġilda mormija, li tista' tirċievi rqajja' u dettalji, għalhekk kull poltruna hija unika. Il-forma baxxa u mmejla tistieden għall-mistrieħ u ssegwi stil Skandinavu.

The design of its structure was designed touse pressed pieces of wood from reuse (left overs). The back, made of left over fabric, tied to a base creating an aesthetic volume and providing comfort. The seat, made of leather from discard, can receive amendments and details, its made it unic. The design of its low and reclining structure its an invitation to rest.

Production Technology: Structure in pressed pieces of wood from reuse, Backseat a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied with a foam inside, and seat made by leather.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to use left over fabric for the backseat and left over wood for the structure. For the backseat we used a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied, creating an aesthetic volume an comfort while in use. For the structure, I designed larger feet and seat, that allowed me to use left over wood slats pressed.
Research: The research was made about types of sustainable and recycled materials, that could work in an aesthetic and functional way.
Inspiration: Inspired on the scandinavian style and with sustainable solutions, the armchair is a tribute to my grandmother, who was in love with handmade works, reflected on the backseat. She also loved nature and was short, that is why the armchair was made in a sustainable way and its design is lower, thought to be easier to use, welcoming and comfortable.
Project Duration: Started in November 2019 in Sao Paulo and finished in january 2020 in Santa Catarina.
Operation Flow: A lower armchair, made of comfortable materials to rest.
