O Design

Sobre Soo No. 2 Cadeira

Soo No. 2 é uma cadeira de madeira concebida para uso diário. Na maioria das cadeiras, as pernas traseiras prolongam-se para cima para sustentar o encosto. Na Soo No. 2, as pernas traseiras e os suportes do encosto foram separados em elementos independentes. Essa separação melhora a estabilidade estrutural e cria um equilíbrio visual nítido. As pernas são cilíndricas e o assento é trançado com corda dinamarquesa. Todas as uniões estruturais utilizam encaixes de espiga e mortalha, e as espigas passantes formam pequenos detalhes em forma de losango ao longo das laterais da estrutura. Os braços e os suportes do encosto são fixados com discretos pinos de latão.

Propriedades Únicas: The most distinctive feature of this chair is the design of its rear legs. While conventional chairs extend the rear legs upward to support the backrest as two vertical columns, this approach was reconsidered in terms of structural stability. By separating the rear legs from the backrest support as independent elements, the design achieves both enhanced structural integrity and a clear sense of visual balance.
Dimensões e Embalagem: Width 580mm x Depth 640mm x Height 770mm
Etiquetas: chair, chair design, woodworking
Tecnologia de Produção: In realizing this chair, certain elements were intentionally kept traditional, including the cylindrical legs and a seat woven with Danish cord. Special attention was required where the squared frame members meet the round legs. All Structural joints are crafted using mortise and tenon joinery, with through mortise and tenon joints forming subtle diamond-shaped details along the frame sides. The armrests and back rest supports are fixed with discreet brass pins, preserving the clarity and simplicity of the overall shape.
Desafio de Design: Design is shaped by the social and cultural context in which it is produced. Working within the Korean cultural context, where floor-based living has historically shaped furniture traditions, forms such as chests and low tables developed more clearly than chairs. This absence can create uncertainty for contemporary woodworkers, who often reference traditional architecture when designing chairs. This project began by questioning whether traditional forms were created primarily for aesthetic expression or as practical responses to life and the human body. Rather than replicating inherited forms, the focus shifted toward designing a chair that responds to bodily experience and everyday use.
Pesquisa: Type of Research :
Practice-based design research.

Research Objective :
To explore how visual stability and comfort interact in chair design.

Methodology :
Full-scale making and iterative adjustment of structure and angles.

Data Collection and Research Tools Used :
Physical prototypes, sitting tests, and dimensional comparison.

Participants or Experiments :
Separating rear legs from backrest support to resolve structural conflict.

Results :
Greater formal freedom and improved balance.

Insights :
Because rear legs and backrest supports perform different roles and absorb forces differently when seated, separating them—beyond concerns of material efficiency—allows chair design to become more flexible and expressive.

Impacts :
The study contributes to furniture design by demonstrating how structural separation can expand formal possibilities while improving everyday seating comfort.
Inspiração: The chair was inspired by 12 months of building 12 different chairs, during which the relationship between the rear legs and the backrest support became a recurring concern. In conventional designs, rear leg placement that improves stability often compromises posture, while configurations that support proper seating increase the risk of tipping, with angled legs further distorting the overall form. These tensions led to the decision to separate the two functions into distinct structural elements
Duração do Projeto: This chair is the final outcome of a personal project involving the creation of 12 different chairs over a 12 month period. The making of this chair itself, including the final wax finish, took approximately twenty days. However, the process of determining the appropriate shapes and compositions for each part took place almost a year. The chair was crafted in December 2025 in Go-yang City, on the outskirts of Seoul, South Korea.
Fluxo de Operação: A chair is the piece of furniture that comes into closest contact with the human body. Beyond visual appeal, it must satisfy the highly subjective requirement of comfort. As the position and proportion of each element strongly shape the user’s experience, several dimensions were referenced from a classic chair by Hans J. Wegner, known for its balanced and familiar comfort. Interestingly, adopting only selected measurements leads to a distinctly new experience, revealing the unique and subtle nature of how a chair interacts with the human body.
