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.

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.
