The Design
About Cecilia Fotelja
Sesilija je fotelja izrađena od ponovo upotrebljenih i odbačenih materijala. Struktura je napravljena od presovanih letvica preostalog drveta, oblikovanih sa širokim nogama i širokim sedištem kako bi se mogli iskoristiti kratki komadi otpada. Naslon je formiran od malih komada preostale tkanine vezanih za fleksibilnu osnovu sa penom unutra, stvarajući meku zapreminu i dodatnu udobnost. Sedište je izrađeno od odbačene kože, koja može dobiti zakrpe i detalje, tako da je svaka fotelja jedinstvena. Niska i zavaljena forma poziva na odmor i prati skandinavski stil.

- Production Technology
- Structure in pressed pieces of wood from reuse, Backseat a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied with a foam inside, and seat made by leather.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to use left over fabric for the backseat and left over wood for the structure. For the backseat we used a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied, creating an aesthetic volume an comfort while in use. For the structure, I designed larger feet and seat, that allowed me to use left over wood slats pressed.
- Research
- The research was made about types of sustainable and recycled materials, that could work in an aesthetic and functional way.
- Inspiration
- Inspired on the scandinavian style and with sustainable solutions, the armchair is a tribute to my grandmother, who was in love with handmade works, reflected on the backseat. She also loved nature and was short, that is why the armchair was made in a sustainable way and its design is lower, thought to be easier to use, welcoming and comfortable.
- Project Duration
- Started in November 2019 in Sao Paulo and finished in january 2020 in Santa Catarina.
- Operation Flow
- A lower armchair, made of comfortable materials to rest.
