About Sharing Joy Primærfunksjon: Loungestol
Sharing Joy er en loungestol designet for hjem med kjæledyr. Stolen skaper et felles rom der en person og en katt kan hvile og leke samtidig uten å forstyrre hverandre. Formen bruker enkel geometri og myke kanter, med et O-formet element inspirert av den sammenkrøllede stillingen til en sovende katt. Den O-formede åpningen i ryggstøtten danner en tunnel for katter og kan også holde blader og puter. Den brede høyre armlenet fungerer som en hoppeplattform for katter eller som et lite sidebord. Hovedrammen er laget av bøyd og sveiset rør.

- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge in the process of research and design is to find the coordination between the pet products and furniture size, in order to satisfy both the cat and the man in the comfort of the substances are used. Another challenge is adapting pet-shared furniture to the style of the home environment while meeting the basic functions.
- Research
- In recent years, pets have gradually entered our lives as special members of the family, but it is difficult for the existing home environment to make major changes due to the needs of pets. People who own pets may think about this question: how to create an intimate and independent space for pets and their owners within a reasonable range. Based on this, we hope to start with furniture in daily life. Design a piece of furniture that adapts to pet behavior and daily needs through simple shape changes.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration of this design comes from the posture that cats curl up in circles when they sleep. To combine it with minimalist style, we simplify and visualize it as an O-shaped element in geometry. The O-shaped element can be freely transformed to form a tunnel for cats to pass through, or it can be extended to the shape of the chair legs to maintain the concise consistency of the product.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Zhengzhou in March 2021 and will be completed in September 2021.
- Operation Flow
- You can place the chair anywhere in your home to create a shared space for owners and pets. When used as shared furniture for pets, The o-shaped tunnel on the back of the seat is consistent with cat behaviour that likes to get into small Spaces. cats can rest and play in it. The increased area of the right armrest of the chair forms a cat jumping platform to meet the characteristics of cats like to jump high and look far, and increase the attraction of the chair for cats. When the sharing joy is used as a seat alone, the O-shaped space presented by the back of the seat can be used as storage space for magazines, pillows and other items. The right armrest has gone from a cat-jumping platform to a mini side table for teacups or phones.
