The Design

About Arch Stol, Pall

Arch är en stol och en pall gjorda av utskuret och svartbetsat laminerat furuträ. Designen bygger på enkla och repetitiva former och figurer, vilket ger möbeln ett enhetligt och logiskt uttryck. Fem identiska bågar bildar stolens ben och ryggstöd, medan pallen består av tre halvbågar som möts i mitten. Alla delar är utskurna ur en laminerad träskiva med en CNC-fräs, därefter limmade och sammanfogade med träpluggar. Kurvorna förstärker möbeln på dess svagaste punkter.

Production Technology
Laminated pine wood, carved with a CNC router, glued together and stained black. The chair backrest is reinforced with a wooden piece along the top, laid with opposite fiber direction. The curves of the chair strengthen the chair at its most fragile points. The pieces of the chair and stool are connected with wooden dowels and glue.
Design Challenge
To find the correct proportions, fitting within the size of the laminated wooden board, and at the same time creating interesting shapes that look well from all sides. The use of only 90 degree connections, has made it extra important to find the correct sizes. It has also been a challenge to find the point of construction where the chair is stable enough without looking over-dimensioned.
Research
The aim for the project has been to create furniture with simple means of production. The use of CNC carved wood, was early decided as a production method, and has affected the design, which uses the advantages of CNC (curved shapes), without creating a piece of furniture that looks like it came from a CNC machine.
Inspiration
The project was developed by trying to create a simple and characteristic piece of furniture with the use of cost-effective and simple production methods and materials. Without access to a full scale workshop, CNC routing allowed to prefabricate the furniture with low cost, high precision and the possibility of creating curved shapes
Project Duration
The project started in march 2020 - and finished in late May 2020.
Operation Flow
The design breaks down the chair into its main components - legs, seat and backrest - and treats them as equally as possible by repeating and using the same dimensions, shapes, materials, joints and surfaces.
