About Poufs With 1000 Ways to Arranged Puf

Chairry to modularny system pufów zaprojektowany do wspólnych i publicznych wnętrz. Każdy puf ma kształt kawałka tortu, dzięki czemu kilka elementów można łączyć, tworząc kwadraty, koła i wiele innych układów. Pojedynczy puf zapewnia indywidualne miejsce siedzące, natomiast ustawienie w kręgu sprzyja interakcji grupowej. Każde siedzisko wykonane jest z trójwymiarowego rdzenia z polistyrenu ciętego maszynowo, wzmocnionego sklejką i pokrytego pianką oraz flizeliną. Wymiary pojedynczego elementu to 650 mm szerokości, 650 mm głębokości i 450 mm wysokości. Gdy nie są używane, pufy można układać w stos i przechowywać na niewielkiej powierzchni.

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.
