About Motichair Barkruk
Motichair is een barkruk ontworpen voor zitten en conversatie. Het frame gebruikt cirkels om de steunpunten met elkaar te verbinden, wat de krachten in balans brengt en materiaalverlies vermindert. Pen-en-gatverbindingen in combinatie met volledig verborgen zwaluwstaartverbindingen zorgen voor een stabiele structuur. De stoel is gemaakt van koolstofvezel-composietmateriaal gecombineerd met stoomgebogen hout. De vorm is geïnspireerd op bogen en maanpoorten in oude Chinese tuinen, en de ronde openingen geven een ruimer visueel gevoel. Een tweekleurige behandeling scheidt de cirkels visueel.

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.

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.

- 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
