About Minus پٺيءَ کان سواءِ ڪرسي

مائنس هڪ پٺيءَ کان سواءِ ڪرسي آهي، جيڪا هڪ بنيادي مڪعب شڪل مان مواد گھٽائي تخليق ڪئي وئي آهي. نتيجي طور هڪ لِسي، هموار ۽ رواني ديدن واري گھٽ ۾ گھٽ ڊزائن شڪل بڻجي آهي. هر سطح جي تبديلي هڪ ايرگونوميڪ مقصد پورو ڪري ٿي. هيٺيون گھمرا پيرن لاءِ آرام جي جاءِ مهيا ڪري ٿو. مٿيون ڏٻرو ويهڻ ۾ آرام کي بهتر بڻائي ٿو. پُٺيءَ جو کوکيرو حصو ۽ مٿيون گھمرو هٿن جي هٿي طور ڪم ڪن ٿا، جنهن ڪري مائنس کي فرش تان آسانيءَ سان کنيو وڃي سگهي ٿو. ان جو بدن پلاسٽڪ مان ٺهيل آهي، جنهن تي هلڪي نيري رنگ جي ڌاتوءَ جهڙي پرت چاڙهيل آهي يا هائيڊرو ڊپنگ ذريعي رخام (ماربل) جهڙا نمونا لڳايل آهن.

Unique Properties
The Minus stool embodies a distinctive design philosophy, crafted by selectively subtracting from a basic cubic shape. This approach yields a minimalist form that speaks a language of simplicity while boasting elegant and fluid surfaces. Beyond its visual appeal, every subtle surface change has its ergonomic intent: a lower curve offers a restful place for the feet; an upper indentation enhances the seating experience; and a scooped back allows for effortless handling.
Dimensions & Packaging
Width 420mm, Depth 350mm, Height 450mm

Production Technology
The whole stool will be made with plastic, the first finishing is slightly blue metallic coating, and the two with marble patterns will made by hydro dipping.
Design Challenge
The challenge during the design process is to find the right surface flow and match the entire minimal feelings. The designer solved this problem by adopting AR tools to inspect the subtle surface change in the actual size and real environment virtually.
Research
The design journey of the minus stool was marked by an extensive exploration of sitting ergonomics. The designer meticulously crafted prototypes using CNC machining, and to ensure the design met a wide range of needs, a diverse group of individuals was invited to experience the stool firsthand. Their feedback was invaluable, informing iterative modifications that honed both comfort and functionality. This collaborative process was fundamental, embedding user-centric insights into the very heart of the stool's design.
Inspiration
Minus stool is inspired by sculpture, an art form steeped in antiquity, has birthed innumerable masterpieces through the ages. Our forebears crafted exquisite shapes and curves from massive stones, showcasing their artistic prowess. This ancient method of expression, with its tangible and direct approach to creating beauty, has deeply inspired me.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2023 in Pasadena and finished in December 2023 in Pasadena, and was exhibited in Gallery at ArtCenter College of Design until now.
Operation Flow
When a person sits on the stool, the top surface provides surprisingly comfortable support, and users could place their feet at the bottom curve. Furthermore, the curve at the back and top together act as handles that facilitate the user to grab it from the floor.
