About Little Thunder څوکۍ
لیټل تنډر (Little Thunder) یوه څوکۍ ده چې د کورونو او کاري ځایونو لپاره ډیزاین شوې ده. جوړښت یې د یوې طاق (والټ) پر بنسټ دی، چې د نیم سلنډر بڼه ده او له پخوا زمانو راهیسې په معمارۍ کې کارول کیږي. طاق څوکۍ ته پیاوړتیا ورکوي په داسې حال کې چې مواد یې لږ کاروي. اساسي منحني بڼې ته یو د کیناستلو ځای او یوه شاتیرکه ورزیاته شوې ده. څوکۍ د څو پرتو لرونکو لرګینو پنلونو څخه جوړه شوې چې په لویو قالبونو کې بڼه ورکړل شوې ده. سطحه یې په څو رنګونو لاکر کیدلی شي یا د اخروټ د لرګي په ورقې پوښل کیدلی شي. د څوکۍ پلنوالی ۸۰۰ ملي متره، ژورتیا یې ۶۳۰ ملي متره او لوړوالی یې ۷۳۰ ملي متره دی.

- This armchair employs a vault shape, which is one of the most robust structure possible with these materials. It also is highly decorative – examples of this architecture can be found going back to antiquity. Little Thunder’s timeless design means it will be a prized piece for years, isn't it the hallmark of a truly environmentally and social responsible design ?
- Dimensions & Packaging

- Armchair, arch, vault, wood, Little Thunder.
- Production Technology
- After making the foundational decision to adopt an vault structure, the design process progressed rather quickly. The fine-tuning process was meticulous, as we had to account for ergonomic factors. The manufacturing process requires specific skills, including multi-layer wood panels using large moulds. The suggested model is lacquered (with several colour options) or uses walnut wood veneer.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to design a furniture item, visually powerful enough to represent the diversification strategy of the company. It had to be manufactured in small series, ideally by one or several craftsmen.
- Research
- This armchair was developed for business and home uses. It will fit perfectly in an office or waiting room setting as well as in a living room or home office.
- Inspiration
- The Little Thunder armchair was born of our desire to create a very geometrically stable seat while using materials rigorously. The idea of a half-cylinder soon became obvious because its structure is so effective. Simply adding a seat and backrest to the basic shape can bring the same strong sensations as a summer thunderstorm.
- Project Duration
- We first began designing this armchair about a year and a half ago (in early 2018). After a number of sketches and 3D-printed scale models, we adjusted the shape to best suit ergonomic seating positions.
The study and production of the laminated timber armchair were done in Chambéry (Savoy), France. - Operation Flow
- This armchair is designed to create a visual impact on its environment. Its shapes and geometric curves give it a highly graphical and surprising character. The lines crisscross but never clash, after numerous attempts to find a clean, comfortable result. Several finishes are offered to best match your desired indoor decoration.
Finally, further studies have yielded versions with wider armrests and strengthened, decorative bases.
