The Design

About Era Ryggstödslös stol

Era är en ryggstödslös stol utformad som ett skulpturalt sittelement för inomhusmiljöer. Basen formas av metallstänger fästa mellan en övre och en nedre stolpe, var och en hållen av en metallring med hål placerade i beräknade vinklar. Stängerna vrider sig runt en central axel, och ljusets reflektion mellan linjerna skapar en känsla av rörelse. Alla fästelement är dolda, så att strukturen uppfattas som en ren form. Sitsen är klädd i skum och läder, och en plywoodplatta inuti förhindrar att skummet deformeras. Era mäter 500 millimeter i höjd, 450 i bredd och 450 i djup.

Production Technology
The rods are fixed at the top and bottom poles, each by a metal ring, each of which has a calculated angle hole. The stool is covered with a foam and a leather cover, and a plywood plate is embedded in the seat to prevent the foam from deforming.
Design Challenge
The clearness of the design was one of the main intentions during the whole development period. That meant that no visible fastening elements were allowed. These objectives together required the invention of an ingenious, yet simple solution to completely hide the fastening elements for the poles. Probably this was the hardest part of the development.
Research
Until the final form of Era was realized, diverse prototypes has been constructed to get the best possible look. All the angles, number and diameter of poles, the final colors, the exact shape of the ring was researched in many ways. We have also made numerous experiments with the SLS technology, to reach the desired quality and perfect assembly tolerances for the manufacturing of the product.
Inspiration
The main idea of the quadruped is derived from nature. The circular rotation around a axis makes it look like a tornado. Regular repetition of lines at the base of stool has made it a modern sculpture
Project Duration
This project started in April of 2018 in Tehran, Iran.
Operation Flow
It is part of a new living style that, due to its special shape, can create a unique landscape as a unit or even in combination with other components of the interior.
