About Arch Scaun, Scaun fără spătar

Arch este un scaun și un scaun fără spătar realizate din lemn de pin laminat, sculptat și vopsit în negru. Designul se bazează pe forme simple și repetitive, care conferă mobilierului o expresie omogenă și logică. Cinci arce identice formează picioarele și spătarul scaunului, în timp ce scaunul fără spătar este alcătuit din trei semi-arce care se întâlnesc în centru. Toate piesele sunt decupate dintr-o placă de lemn laminat cu ajutorul unui router CNC, apoi lipite și îmbinate cu dibluri din lemn. Curbele consolidează structura mobilierului în punctele sale cele mai vulnerabile.

Production Technology
Laminated pine wood, carved with a CNC router, glued together and stained black. The chair backrest is reinforced with a wooden piece along the top, laid with opposite fiber direction. The curves of the chair strengthen the chair at its most fragile points. The pieces of the chair and stool are connected with wooden dowels and glue.
Design Challenge
To find the correct proportions, fitting within the size of the laminated wooden board, and at the same time creating interesting shapes that look well from all sides. The use of only 90 degree connections, has made it extra important to find the correct sizes. It has also been a challenge to find the point of construction where the chair is stable enough without looking over-dimensioned.
Research
The aim for the project has been to create furniture with simple means of production. The use of CNC carved wood, was early decided as a production method, and has affected the design, which uses the advantages of CNC (curved shapes), without creating a piece of furniture that looks like it came from a CNC machine.
Inspiration
The project was developed by trying to create a simple and characteristic piece of furniture with the use of cost-effective and simple production methods and materials. Without access to a full scale workshop, CNC routing allowed to prefabricate the furniture with low cost, high precision and the possibility of creating curved shapes
Project Duration
The project started in march 2020 - and finished in late May 2020.
Operation Flow
The design breaks down the chair into its main components - legs, seat and backrest - and treats them as equally as possible by repeating and using the same dimensions, shapes, materials, joints and surfaces.
