About Dcl Stol

Dcl je stol, v celoti izdelan iz vlaknene plošče visoke gostote. Vsak del je izrezan s CNC rezkalnikom. Stol je pobarvan v svetli enobarvni barvi, pri čemer je mogoče uporabiti katero koli barvo. Gledano od daleč je Dcl videti skoraj kot kubičen blok enotne barve in ne kot stol. Oblikovanje sledi študiji stola italijanskega arhitekta in oblikovalca Cesareja Leonardija, ki je ostala lesen model in ni bila nikoli proizvedena. Ime Dcl pomeni Dopo Cesare Leonardi, kar pomeni Po Cesareju Leonardiju. Stol meri 55 krat 50 krat 70 centimetrov.

Unique Properties
It's a chair made entirely of HDF and painted with a bright solid color - any color - and looks like, when spotted, almost not a chair but a sort of a cubic block of solid massive color.
Dimensions & Packaging
55 x 50 x 70 cm
Tags
chair, concept chair, contemporary chair, basic chair, colorful chair
Production Technology
HDF cut in a CNC router.
Design Challenge
In this particular case, there was not "a hardest part of design", which is very rare in any of my designs.
Research
I simply found in the internet a photo of one interesting study of chair made by the Italian architect and designer Cesare Leonardi. Since Leonardi's chair was not developed nor produced, I thought I could "devevelop it, as I was a Leonardi's team member, and started make a model of of it, changing material, changing form and proportions and making it in a more logic way, seaching for a better proportion and confort for a chair of plain HDF (Leonardi's chair was made of solid wood). The result: my chair is very basic, more logic than Leonardi's; my chair is a concept chair. DCL means Dopo Cesare Leonardi (After Cesare Leonardi).
Inspiration
My inspiration was a chair study made by Cesare Leonardi, an Italian architect and designer. Leonardi's chair was nothing more than a wooden model and was not developed nor produced.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2025 in São Paulo and finished in October 2025.
Operation Flow
It's a chair.
Patents
The design was registered at IAB (Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil)
