About The Swing Chair Stolička

Stolička Swing Chair je sedadlo inšpirované hojdačkou. Dizajn reaguje na pohyb tela a vytvára dynamickú interakciu pre relaxáciu a hru. Sedák a operadlo sú flexibilné a nastaviteľné, takže sledujú preferované sediace polohy a pohyby používateľa. Uhol medzi sedákom a operadlom sa môže meniť od 120 do 133 stupňov. Konštrukcia má tvar kocky s rozmermi 61x61x61 centimetrov. Na rám je použité dubové drevo, na sedák a operadlo preglejka a na hojdacie časti bavlnená šnúra. Drsná šnúra vytvára trenie s drevom, ktoré udržiava pohyb kontrolovaný a bezpečný.

Unique Properties
Inspired by the swing, this chair aims to respond with human body movements and create a dynamic interaction with the users - for them to relax and play. The seat and backrest are flexible and adjustable in a way that they are able to follow users’ preferred sitting positions and their movements while sitting. It also has a minimal structure: seat and backrest supported by a simple frame (61x61x61cm), giving the seat floating and chair lightweight.
Dimensions & Packaging
The chair is in a "perfect cube" structure: 61x61x61cm.

Production Technology
The material here I used Oak wood for the structure, plywood for the seat and backrest, cotton cord for the swing, and rubber screw to connect the backrest.
Design Challenge
The hardest part of this design is to control the level of movement, which is affected by the design as well as the material. Allowing too much movement would cause a user to fall off the chair. The thick cotton cord has rough texture and thus create good friction with the wood, in this way, it allows the seat to still create movements but in a controlled and safe way.
Inspiration
This chair is inspired by the swing. I want to incorporate the playfulness and movement of swing into a chair which is normally considered to have a fixed angle between seat and backrest.
Project Duration
This project is completed in Copenhagen in 2017; the duration of design and production took around 2 months.
Operation Flow
Both the seat and backrest are adjustable based on user's movement. The angle between the seat and backrest could be adjusted from 120 to 133 degree (please see the image above).
