The Design
About Anima Fotelja
Fotelja Anima je značajan dizajn koji svoje inspiracije crpi iz oblika i materijala prisutnih u prirodi. Fokusirajući se na zaigrane i simetrične oblike, ona teži da stvori pozitivna iskustva za svoje korisnike, evocirajući inspirativna osećanja koja se često povezuju sa prirodnim elementima. Dizajnirana kroz pažljivo posmatranje raznovrsne faune i flore Brazila, fotelja transformiše ove inspiracije u konkretan proizvod. Ona odražava upečatljive siluete prisutne u brazilskim ekosistemima, ističući kako autentičnost svojih zaigrani karakteristika tako i eleganciju svojih organskih linija.

the design was improved with 3D scanning technology of the physical prototype, facilitating the manufacturing process on the 5 axis CNC and ensuring organic and aesthetic lines that reflect the authenticity of natural forms. - Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge was understanding the elements that contribute to nature’s beauty and translating them into an armchair design. We immersed ourselves in observation, sketching organic lines, symmetry, and playful forms found in the natural world. Once the design was finalized, the next step was crafting a prototype using natural materials such as wood and cotton fabric. Working freehand, we constructed the wooden armchair's base, ensuring that the intricate, handmade quality from our drawings was preserved in the final product. This process beautifully linked nature’s essence with our craftsmanship.
- Research
- Brazil is home to one of the world's richest biodiversities. The objective of our research was to explore and understand the elements that contribute to the beauty of our native flora and fauna. We employed a hands-on approach, venturing into the field to closely observe various plants and animals. As we explored, we sketched our observations, capturing the intricate details and characteristics that make these living beings remarkable. This immersive method not only enhanced our appreciation of nature but also informed our design concepts, allowing us to translate this beauty into our work.
- Inspiration
- From the shapes and materials of the armchair, the project aims to express the positive experience transmitted in the beauty of nature's playful and symmetrical forms, giving us good feelings, which we experience when we are in contact with natural elements. The Anima armchair was designed based on the observation of aspects present in both Brazilian fauna and flora, with the aim of transmitting the beauty perceived through the interpretation of shapes.
- Project Duration
- January 2024 and finished June 2024. It was made in Nova Petropolis, Rio Grande do Sul. Brazil
- Operation Flow
- Imagine sinking into the Anima armchair after a long day. Its organic and natural curves invite you to relax, wrapping you in a cocoon of comfort with the Tauari wood. As you settle in, the playful lines and natural aesthetic create a soothing atmosphere, reminiscent of a serene walk in nature. You might take a moment to enjoy a good book, the chair cradling you like a gentle embrace.
