The Design
About Poufs With 1000 Ways to Arranged Poef
Chairry is een modulair poefsysteem, ontworpen voor gedeelde en openbare interieurs. Elke poef heeft een taartvorm, waardoor meerdere eenheden gecombineerd kunnen worden tot vierkanten, cirkels en vele andere patronen. Een enkele poef biedt een individuele zitplaats, terwijl een cirkelvormige opstelling groepsinteractie ondersteunt. Elke zitting is gemaakt van een driedimensionale, machinaal gesneden polystyreenkern, versterkt met multiplex en bekleed met foam en vlies. Elke eenheid meet 650 mm in breedte, 650 mm in diepte en 450 mm in hoogte. Wanneer ze niet in gebruik zijn, kunnen de poefs worden gestapeld en op een kleine oppervlakte worden opgeborgen.

- Production Technology
- As far as design methodology, the his initial design focus was multi-functionality and storage efficiency. The designer's furniture can be rearranged to suit the need of the user. When not in use, the poufs can be arranged or stacked stylistically in a discrete location. Secondly, the designer wanted to focus on ergonomics and comfort.
Each pouf seats made of a piece of 3D machine cut polystyrene strengthened with plywood and covered with foam and fleece. - Design Challenge
- The making skill is a difficult challenge. The designer visited tatami maker, bamboo artist, grass weaving studio. None of them could make pie shape furniture, not to mention link them together. After surveying many places, the designer decided to use fleece fabric for sitting comfort concern.
- Research
- As cutting a pie, the designer moved each piece as if the pie shapes were connected together and made a square. Then he thought about what he could make using this design idea. Initially, the designer thought about creating a children's toy. Finally, he decided to create something where people could rearrange modules to suit their need. This could incorporate functionality with individual creativity.
- Inspiration
- When cutting a circular piece of paper into slices and playing with them , the pieces fell into so many shapes and patterns while connected to each other so the idea grew to make a child's toy. This developed into building a toy for adults to play with, therefore Chairry was born.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April, 2019 in Taipei and finished in August, 2019 in the same location.
- Operation Flow
- Unlike an open space with an ordinary pouf, these poufs can be set up stylistically in eye catching patterns for interior decoration or used functionally in a circular formation for peoples’ interaction as well as separated into smaller groups of two or three for persons’ privacy.
