About Hopper چیئر
هوپر ھڪ ڪاٺ مان ٺھيل ڪرسي آھي جيڪا آرام سان ويھڻ لاءِ ٺاھي وئي آھي. ٻٽي وکريل فريم پنھنجي مخصوص پروفائل سان آرام کي سھارو ڏئي ٿو ۽ ڪرسيءَ کي ھڪ متحرڪ شڪل عطا ڪري ٿو. پروفائل جا ٽي ڪنڊا اُتي گول ڪيا ويا آھن جتي جسم ڪرسيءَ کي ڇُھي ٿو، جڏھن ته ھڪ تيز ڪنڊو مجموعي شڪل کي اجاگر ڪرڻ لاءِ برقرار رھي ٿو. جھڪيل زاويو نرم ھٿ ٽيڪ ۽ پُٺ ٽيڪ ۾ تبديل ٿي وڃي ٿو. آرام ۽ سھاري وارا پينل ھلڪائي ۽ ساختياتي مضبوطي کي وڌائين ٿا. حصا پنج محور واري CNC مشين ڪاري ذريعي ٺاھيا ويا ۽ پوءِ ھٿ سان گڏ ڪيا ويا.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The double curved wood frame with customized profile ensures comfort while also enhancing the dynamic form of the chair. The profile has its three corners filletted where the body is in contact with the chair. On the other hand, one strong edge still remains to highlight the overall gesture and appears with higher contrast under the lighting effect.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 550 x 645 x 800
- Tags
- furniture, chair, ergonomic, wood
- Production Technology
- With high quality requirement and subtle details, the chair’s parts were made using 5 axis CNC for finishing accuration. A technician with 20 years of experience in craftsmanship then worked to assemble these parts and details together.
- Design Challenge
- It was a challenge to ensure structure and rigidity with the chair’s significant curves and incline without losing the purity of the form. Various testing took place to study different relationships between front legs and back legs’ curve and angle. Supporting structural frames and joints were then added underneath the seat to ensure stability.
- Research
- Throughout the design process, there were many studies on the overall form to reveal strong gestures with simplicity. After multiple iterations of the leg and frame profile, a scale model was 3d printed for mock up before sending the final design to the factory.
- Inspiration
- Hopper Chair with its reclined ergonomics invites the users to sit back and relax. The signature double curves form an energizing and friendly gesture, which recalls a joyful spirit of hopping. When not in use, Hopper Chair is still a spark of joy in the space.
- Project Duration
- The project was designed in Hanoi, Vietnam in May 2021 and finished in Binh Duong, Vietnam in February 2022
- Operation Flow
- With a welcoming gesture, Hopper Chair offers its user to relax with comfort. The reclined angle with a smooth curve turns into pleasant armrests and backrests. The double curved frame is designed to give light and open feelings with resting and support panels, which also enhance structural stability.
