About The Monomorph ڪرسي
Monomorph هڪ ڪرسي آهي جيڪا 39 هڪجهڙن ڪاٺ جي عنصرن سان ٺهيل آهي. صرف هڪ شڪل استعمال ڪندي ڪرسي ٺاهڻ جو نتيجو هڪ انتهائي پائيدار، ماڊيولر پراڊڪٽ آهي. اهي ٽڪنڊي شڪل وارا عنصر سڀ هڪ پلائيووڊ جي شيٽ مان ايندا آهن. 39 عنصر فولادي ڇنڊن سان ڳنڍيل آهن جيڪي پٺاري، ويھڻ جي جاءِ ۽ ٽنگون ٺاهيندا آهن. ڪرسي کي هڪ سمهڙي پيڪيج جي طور تي منتقل ڪري سگهجي ٿو ۽ گڏ ڪرڻ آسان آهي. پلائيووڊ کي اڳ کان چونڊيل رنگن ۾ رنگيو ويندو آهي يا خام ايڊيشن ۾ بغير علاج جي استعمال ڪري سگهجي ٿو.

- Production Technology
- The 38 elements are CNC cut after various scale models were made. There has been substantial testing of various elements resulting in different chairs with different levels of comfort. eventually this single shape turned out to be the perfect single shape to create a chair with. There are several variants with 16 identical elements instead of 39, where the seat and backrest are formed with paper cord, used trucktarp or vegan leather.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part was to actually find the single shape with which to realize an actual chair that is both beautiful and comfortable. After the shape was found the challange was to make the chair stable. For this several models were build and eventually the real life prototype. First with 16 identical elements with vegan leather used for seat and backrest. Later even more pure, using only that one wooden shape.
- Research
- As an architect I am always thinking about design and how to make it buildable. In construction the standardisation of elements, or even complete houses, has become more and more important. To keep costs acceptable, to minimize failure and maximize sustainability. But standardisation also limits the architects freedom to actually make a design. That is why I try to design these standardised elements myself in order to make the design leading and the standard elements following. The Monomorph is based on this principle of design lead standardisation. It is a chair constructed with 39 identical elements, which is a wooden triangle with rounded corners. A chair is formed by connecting these 39 elements with steel rods. The same element can be seat, backrest or leg. By adding more elements the chair can even be a sofa.
- Inspiration
- In nature, an organism existing out of one shape is called a monomorph. The Monomorph chair is the result of my research to find this ideal single shape to create a chair with: One form to define the result. It makes building the chair efficient, creating less waste.
- Project Duration
- The chair was designed in Januari 2024 in Utrecht, The Netherlands after several models were made. The first real size prototype was build in March 2024 after which extensive testing at the designers house took place. All in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
- Operation Flow
- The chair can be assembled by everyone who can handle a allen wrench.
