About Nina & Beni Oturgyç

Nina & Beni agaç gaýyk gurluşlarynyň görnüşlerinden ylham alnan berk agaçdan ýasalan oturgyçdyr. Bug bilen egrelen iki zolak oturgyjyň üstünden konsol görnüşinde geçip, ilki aýak, soňra tirsek daýanjy bolup hyzmat edýär we ahyrynda bil oýugynyň şekilini emele getirýär. Oturgyç durnukly çeşmelerden alnan tokaýlardan gelen dagdan, ülje, dub ýa-da hoz agajyndan ýasalyp, tebigy ýaglar we mumlar bilen örtülýär. Bäş okly maşynda kesilen galyplar agaç zolaklarynyň bug bilen egrelmegine we laminasiýa edilmegine ýol görkezýär. Oturgyç bölegi aýrylýan we çalşylýan görnüşdedir. Şekillendirmegiň bu usuly material galyndylaryny azaldýar.

Steam bending, solid wood, sustainable, chair design
Production Technology
To achieve the complex geometry of the Nina & beni chair we use a 5 axis CNC to cut 2 molds which we then use to steam bend the solid wood strips to their form. We then use another set of cnc-cut counter molds to make the 3d lamination.
Design Challenge
The most difficult part was designing and building the 3 dimensional molds needed to build the chair.
Research
Sustainability is my design objective.
I use wood because it is the best short carbon cycle material, the complex shapes are steam-bent so as to create as little waste as possible.
These pieces are made from quality materials and designed to last a lifetime.
Inspiration
Inspired by the efficient yet beautiful forms of wooden naval structures. Boat building achieves aerodynamic forms that take advantage of the trees grain with little waste.
Project Duration
This project started in September 2019, was exhibited at The Stockholm Furniture fair in January then at the London design fair in September
Operation Flow
Solid wood chair meant to last a lifetime
Seat is removable and interchangeable.
