About Geometric Mpando Wopumira, Mpando Wodyera
Geometric ndi mpando wopangidwa kuti azigwiritsidwa ntchito popumira komanso podyera. Chimango chake chapangidwa kwathunthu ndi matabwa olimba a red oak, olumikizidwa pogwiritsa ntchito njira ya mortise ndi tenon yosemedwa mongoyerekeza pamalingaliro ovuta. Mapangidwewa amadalira mizere itatu, zomwe zimapatsa mpandowu maonekedwe opepuka komanso amphamvu, popanda kutaya mphamvu yake yolimba. Malo okhalapo ndi msana wa mpandowo zapendekedwa kuti zipereke chithandizo chabwino ndi mpumulo. Padding yake imaphatikiza masapatya anayi a foam osiyanasiyana m'kulemera kwake pamodzi ndi njira ya zingwe zosinthasintha, kotero kuti kufewa kwake kumasintha pang'onopang'ono malinga ndi kulemera kwa thupi. Nsalu yokutira imapangidwa ndi manja.

About the Mphoto ya Chitsulo ya A' Design Award
Geometric Mpando Wopumira, Mpando Wodyera ndi mmodzi mwa opambana a Mphoto ya Chitsulo ya A' Design Award, kuzindikirika kolemekezeka komwe kumaperekedwa kwa mapangidwe abwino omwe amakwaniritsa zofunika za akatswiri ndi za makampani zomwe zimayembekezeka kuchokera ku zolengedwa zopangidwa bwino. Opambana a Chitsulo amaonetsa luso lalikulu, ukatswiri wapamwamba, kumvetsetsa kwa akatswiri ndi mphamvu yolenga ya opanga awo. Geometric Mpando Wopumira, Mpando Wodyera akuyembekezeka kukhala cholengedwa choyamikiridwa kwambiri, chosirira ndi chokondedwa chomwe ndi chothandiza ndi chatsopano. Mapangidwe opambana Mphoto ya Chitsulo ya A' Design Award awa amaphatikiza machitidwe abwino kwambiri a makampani ndipo ali ndi makhalidwe a ukadaulo oyenerera olumikizidwa ndi chidziwitso ndi luso. Geometric Mpando Wopumira, Mpando Wodyera amalemekezedwa chifukwa cha kusamala kwake ndipo anapangidwa kuti apereke kukonza kwa moyo kumene kumathandiza kusandutsa dziko kukhala malo abwino.

- Unique Properties
- The structure of the chair is both simple and edgy, relying solely on three axes, giving it a visual lightness. The tilting on the pieces provide an air of modernity and dynamism unique to this collection. The ergonomics of this armchair is perfect, it has the correct inclination of the seat and back, so you can relax and enjoy.
- Dimensions & Packaging

- Tags
- Confortable seat, lounge chair, modern furniture, solid wood, 1960’s style, retro
- 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.
