The Design

About Ceremony Cadeira sem Encosto

Ceremony é uma cadeira sem encosto concebida para sentar, tomar chá e conversar. A estrutura é feita em nogueira e unida através de tradicionais encaixes chineses de malhete e espiga. A construção reduz a quantidade de material utilizado, mantendo o assento estável e confortável durante o uso. A superfície do assento e as pernas são cortadas por usinagem controlada por computador e, em seguida, refinadas por polimento manual. A cadeira é entregue para montagem pelo próprio usuário. A forma remete à cultura ritual chinesa, na qual o ato de sentar-se é compreendido como um gesto de cortesia. A cadeira mede 400 mm de largura, 320 mm de profundidade e 430 mm de altura.
