The Design

About Vague Ryggstödslös stol

Vague är en ryggstödslös stol formad av kontinuerliga strukturella kurvor. Varje betraktningsvinkel avslöjar en ny harmonisk komposition. Vague är tillverkad av stålrör med en diameter på 5/16 tum, formade genom bockning och sammanfogade genom svetsning. Ytan får en finish av elektrostatisk lackering eller kopparbeläggning. Måtten är 400 mm i bredd, 390 mm i djup och 420 mm i höjd. Kurvorna inspirerades av ringarna från en vattendroppe som faller i en flod och av bladens struktur. Vague kan användas som sittmöbel eller som ett dekorativt objekt.

Production Technology
Vague uses as material steel tubes with 5/16 inch diameter and the production is made by bending and welding (TIG type).
After that, it receives an electrostatic paint or a copper coating finish.
Design Challenge
The hardest part of creating Vague was the cad 3d modeling.
Several studies have been done to achieve the perfect shape.
Research
Vague was inspired by nature, combining the structure of the leaves with the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape.
Inspiration
Vague is French for wave - a name inspired by the rising curves of a water droplet falling into a river, where a perfect, vibrant and continuous ripple takes shape. The piece’s visual lightness embraces only the bare essential for its purpose, and that inspiration stemmed from carefully observing nature’s wisdom.
Project Duration
Vague was designed in São Paulo on April 2020 and has been produced in southern Brazil since August.
Operation Flow
Vague can be used as a simple stool but also as a piece of art, as its beauty creates a great highlight on environments.
