The Design

About Geometric Loungestoel, Eetkamerstoel

Geometric is een stoel ontworpen voor gebruik als loungestoel en eetkamerstoel. Het frame is volledig vervaardigd uit massief rood eikenhout, verbonden met pen-en-gatverbindingen die onder complexe hoeken zijn gezaagd. De structuur steunt op drie assen, wat de stoel een lichte en dynamische uitstraling geeft en tegelijkertijd sterk blijft. De zitting en de rugleuning zijn schuin geplaatst voor comfortabele ondersteuning. De vulling combineert vier lagen schuim met verschillende dichtheden met een elastisch vlechtsysteem, zodat de vering progressief reageert op het lichaamsgewicht. De bekleding is met de hand vervaardigd.

Production Technology
Built entirely of solid red oak wood oak. The joinery is made with mortise and tenon, using complex angles. This piece was designed to achieve the perfect fit and durability for everyday use, it was necessary to use high-tech machinery to produce this piece successfully.
The engineering of the seat and backrest allows a progressive cushioning thanks to the multiple layers of different densities of foam and elastic supports, delivering a smooth and enjoyable feeling. The upholstery was completely handmade, to offer more character and personality.
Design Challenge
The retro was to develop a processing system and assembly based on the mortise and tenon joinery, that despite the sharp angles had a structure feasible to replicate in mass production with a good fit of vertices and unions.
Research
An extensive vector study of engineering was necessary to obtain the assemble system of the pieces without affecting the resistance. This resulted in a light and dynamic look that is seen in this piece, remaining robust and resistant.
Inspiration
This collection is inspired by the geometric structures of the industrial era (late nineteenth century), and is mixed with the silhouettes and the spirit of the 60's. It has a modernist zeal and a retro timeless touch, ideal for modern interior environments.
Project Duration
This project took 12 weeks from the first sketches to the final prototype for mass production, made in the laboratory and prototype design in Mérida, Yucatán, México.
Operation Flow
The padding of the seat, despite being slender, has a progressive reaction so that it adapts to the weight and body shape of the person using it; it has four layers of foam of different densities and a flexible support webbing system to better accommodate ergonomically.
