O Design

Sobre Strings Banqueta

Esta banqueta inspira-se no sanshin, um instrumento de cordas tradicional de Okinawa, no Japão. A sua serenidade e a tensão das cordas expressam-se através da madeira natural, das curvas suaves e dos cordões firmemente esticados. Os cordões que atravessam o assento permitem fixar objetos do dia a dia, criando momentos de alegria e conforto, ao mesmo tempo que evocam a presença e o quotidiano do utilizador. Fabricada em contraplacado moldado, a banqueta apresenta uma curva suave que vai das pernas ao assento, com a madeira em camadas a garantir resistência, trazendo calor e um estímulo suave à vida quotidiana.

Tecnologia de Produção: The manufacturing process utilizes molded plywood, achieving gentle curves by applying pressure to bend the wood. The structure draws inspiration from the tension and stringing seen in Okinawan sanshin instruments, employing a multi-layered wood construction that ensures visual lightness while maintaining sufficient stability. Wood is carefully selected and utilized to convey the warmth and natural atmosphere of Okinawa.
Desafio de Design: To bend wood using pressure, I created a mold. For clean bending, the wood must adhere tightly to the mold. Finding the right pressure application proved challenging one that ensures the wood stays firmly pressed against the mold while maintaining stability until the shape is fully set.
