About Sway 酒吧椅

Сваи је начин да истражите сопствени ритам и обрасце. Кроз посматрање и откривање ових повремених несвесних покрета, примећено је да људи понекад показују несвесно понашање, као што је љуљање, када уђу у стање менталног тока. Уградњом клатна испод седишта, утиче се на висину и јединствен осећај који барска столица пружа. Пружа стабилност и контролисано, мало љуљање које омогућава корисницима да истражују и пронађу сопствени ритам. Са својим високим дизајном барске столице и љуљајућим покретом, Сваи промовише смирујуће и контемплативно стање ума.

Design Challenge
The production process involves traditional tube bending and handmade welding, but transforming unconscious behavior and mental flow into objects is the longest and most thoughtful part of the entire creative process.
Research
Inspired by the observation and discovery of people's occasional unconscious behavior of rocking, research has found that it has a similar function of "awakening" the brain, promoting cognitive thinking ability, increasing blood flow, and inducing a state of mental flow. From this intriguing phenomenon, the concept was transformed into the design of an object, particularly a bar stool, utilizing the unique sensation brought by the bar stool to create a high rocking chair. The chair aims to evoke a relaxed atmosphere and aid in achieving a state of focused thinking.

Subsequently, the center of gravity was tested to determine the appropriate proportions of length and weight distribution. Once the size was defined, the design was conceived, and PVC water pipes were heated to create the model of the chair frame ,and size adjustments. Finally, surface treatment was applied.
Inspiration
Through observing and discovering these occasional unconscious movements, it has been noted that people sometimes exhibit unconscious behaviors, such as rocking, when entering a state of mental flow. This fascinating phenomenon has inspired me to transform it into a design object.
Project Duration
The project lasts for one semester and takes place at Shih Chien University.
