The Design

About Corner Poltrona Sofá

Corner é uma poltrona sofá concebida para residências e espaços públicos. A estrutura é feita em madeira de freixo e montada com tradicionais encaixes de malhete e espiga. São aplicados processos de secagem, polimento e pintura para melhorar a durabilidade. Um enchimento macio e um tecido de revestimento combinam-se com a estrutura em madeira. Os apoios de braços triangulares e rígidos contrastam com os contornos arredondados do estofamento. A curvatura do assento, o ângulo de inclinação do encosto e a altura dos apoios de braços seguem princípios ergonómicos. A poltrona mede 630 por 700 por 840 milímetros.

Design Challenge: The challenge was how to achieve a harmonious unity of practicality, comfort, and art. To address that, the sofa chair marries simple, clear lines with soft curved surfaces, giving a unique visual aesthetic and improving comfort of use.

Inspiration: The leisure sofa chair, inspired by modern styles, takes minimalism, scientifically reasonable construction, and a deep understanding of material properties as the core. By skillfully combining a structured solid wood frame with soft upholstery, the design team has created a comfortable sofa chair that not only fully embodies rational aesthetics but also boasts remarkable recognizability.
Project Duration: This project started in Beijing in January 2024 and completed in June 2024.
Operation Flow: To enhance the user experience, the design team has utilized the padding with excellent resilience and support, while also innovating curved surfaces based on ergonomics. Besides, the lowered seat and armrests, as well as the backrest with an optimal tilt angle, ensure the chair can well fit the human body to avoid physical fatigue from prolonged sitting, offering users a comfortable space to relax.
