The Design

About Life Ark Utomhussittplats för offentlig miljö

Life Ark är en offentlig utomhussittplats designad för parker och naturskönt belägna områden. Formen är baserad på ett bladlikt utseende, med flytande linjer och en genombruten gallerstruktur. Sitsen är tillverkad av rostfritt stål, handsmidd över en form och sammansvetsad. En bränd lackfinish begränsar värmeöverföringen, medan gallret låter vatten dräneras bort och luft passera igenom. Ryggstödet följer kroppens kurva och når en vinkel på 108 grader, vilket stödjer både läsning, arbete och vila. Designen kombinerar dekoration med avkoppling och främjar tanken om ett grönt levnadssätt.

Unique Properties: This is an outdoor leaflike public seat.

Production Technology: The team turned the clay and foam into a hard material mold in the initial stage, then divided it into small pieces and numbered them. In the middle stage, the stainless steel material was forged into small pieces on the mold by hand and finally welded into shape. Thanks to the grille design and metal and baking varnish processing technique, the product is more in line with the needs of urban furniture selection, and also avoids the potential excessive heat transfer of metal.
Design Challenge: The product makes breakthroughs in shape and function, abandoning the traditional way of making regular and uniform public seats with single function positioning and bringing people great convenience. The public seats can better meet the needs of decoration and leisure with the innovation of function and form. At the same time, the expression form with great formal beauty and natural characteristics also better shows the concept of green life that the team wants to convey.
Research: As a public facility, public seats provide a basic resting function for people, and at the same time serves as a city logo to convey the spiritual and cultural connotation of the city to the public. With the development of the times, public seats should not only be optimized and innovated in terms of function and shape, but also be enriched and enhanced in connotation.
Inspiration: The design team extracts the natural form of the leaves, which symbolizes green and life, and adopts human centered and nature-based bionic design. This aims to enhance the bonds between human, object and nature and promotes the concept of green life. At the same time, the function of the public seat is expanded to provide users with more functions.
Project Duration: The project was designed and developed in Hangzhou in August 2021 and was listed in China in October 2022.
Operation Flow: 1. The leaf form helps users to better feel the charm and vitality of nature.
2. The design that fits the physiological curve of the human body brings visitors comfortable sitting.
3. 0 to 108 degrees of the backrest angle facilitates reading, office, and relaxation.
4. The grille design not only can effectively dredge water, but also contributes the better breathability and comfort.
