The Design

About Cloud Stolička

Cloud je stolička inšpirovaná dažďovou prehánkou pozorovanou nad pobrežím japonského ostrova Okinawa. Sedacia plocha je vytvorená vpichovaním polyesterového vlákna do polyuretánovej peny pomocou ihly, čím vzniká mäkký vzhľad pripomínajúci oblak. Vysoké sedadlo dodáva sediacej osobe pocit vznášania sa. Zrkadlovo lesklé nohy z nehrdzavejúcej ocele a podstavec sú vytvorené z tenkých okrúhlych tyčí, ktoré vyjadrujú padajúci dážď. Počet, dĺžka a priemer tyčí boli starostlivo určené. Cloud je ručne vyrobený z nehrdzavejúcej ocele, polyesterového vlákna, dreva a polyuretánovej peny.

Design Challenge
In addition, the number, length, and diameter of stainless steel round bars that express rain were carefully determined.
Research
I feel like the products in the world are now uniform.
Different regions have their own culture and nature.
Among them, I paid attention to nature.
I think of naturally inspired designs.
After that, repeat the verification of the material and structure.
I will announce the created design to the world and aim for commercialization.
I believe that doing so will enrich the uniform world.
Inspiration
The sky is connected everywhere in the world.
Many people have seen clouds.
A design inspired by nature will resonate with various people.
I live on Okinawa Island south of Japan.
One day, I saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast.
The idea of this chair came up from the scenery at that time.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2019 and ended in October 2019.
Operation Flow
I think there are many people who have imagined when they were children that they could sit on clouds.
I realized that imagination.
Poetic products enrich the emotions of users.
In addition, this product makes the surrounding space visually enjoyable.
