The Design

About Delirios Poltrona

Delirios é uma poltrona que combina o trabalho artesanal com métodos de produção digital. A base foi projetada com programação paramétrica do tipo waffle, uma modelagem 3D que gera uma estrutura fluida unida por encaixes. A base é cortada em máquinas CNC a partir de madeira multilaminada certificada. O encosto e o assento são feitos à mão e repousam levemente sobre a estrutura de madeira. A base toca o piso em quatro pontos de apoio. O estofamento está disponível em couro, lã, fio ou algodão. Delirios une a tecnologia digital às tradições artesanais brasileiras.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Delirios is an armchair that uses both craftwork and digital ways of production, and comes from an attempt to unite digital to analog and technology to essencial Brazilian culture. Its basis was digitally designed using parametric waffle programming, a type of 3D modeling that creates a flow structure made with fittings. This structure was digitally made by CNC in certified wood pieces, while the backrest and seat are made from craftwork production.
Dimensions & Packaging: 950 mm x 1140 mm x 1040 mm
Certified multi-laminated wood basis;
Upholstery available in leather, wool, thread or cotton.
Tags: Armchair, Parametric design, Waffle programming, CNC, Brazilian design, Brazilian wood, Digital Design, Fittings, Hybrid Design, Technology
Production Technology: Mixing analog and digital, the basis in multi-laminated wood was designed using parametric programming so that the structure could be fluid and fixed by fittings. The fabrication of the structure was made from CNC.
While the upholstered rests by the basis in a light and subtle way, the basis touches the floor through four points of support, also lightly.
Design Challenge: Creating a furniture that, through parametric programming, assembles analog to digital.
Research: Studies on waffle parametric programming to develop the wooden basis.
Inspiration: Delirios came from the desire to experiment with digital technologies together with artisanal methods, in order to unite technological advances with the Brazilian cultural legacy. The name Delirios was chosen as a tribute to Flavio de Carvalho, the Brazilian artist who mixed in his creations design, painting, performances, set design and architecture as powerful social criticism.
Project Duration: The Delirios Armchair was presented at the launch of the Mais55 Design brand in Sao Paulo in June 2020.
Operation Flow: The basis of the armchair is digitally designed using parametric programming and built through the fittings of the cut laminated wood pieces. The backrest subtly rests on the wooden structure, which touches the floor through four supports, also subtly and lightly. A super comfortable armchair with a unique design.
