The Design

About Minimal Techno Silyon

Ang Minimal Techno ay isang prototipong silyon na gawa mula sa recycled na solidong bakal at muling ginamit na bamboo hardwood flooring. Ang balangkas nito ay may matte black na patong, at brushed brass na mga tornilyo ang humahawak sa mga bamboo slat sa kanilang lugar. Ang manipis na bakal at kawayan ay nagbibigay ng flexibility sa upuan, kaya nananatiling komportable ang silya kahit sa mahabang oras ng pag-upo. Matibay ang istruktura at nasubukan na itong makapagdala ng bigat na higit sa 250 libra. Ang Japanese minimalism at ang paggamit ng negative space ang gumabay sa hugis nito. Tatlong materyales lamang ang ginamit, kaya nananatiling simple ang paggawa ng muli ng silyon.

Unique Properties: This is a prototype arm chair which is constructed from recycled solid steel and repurposed bamboo hardwood flooring. It has a matte black coating with brushed brass screws to hold the bamboo slats in place. The design is meant to feel delicate, yet strong and robust. Because of the thin steel and bamboo, this design has amazing flexibility and is quite comfortable to sit in for long periods of time.
Dimensions & Packaging: H24" W27" L30"

Production Technology: This is the first arm chair I have brought to fruition. I wanted it to make a statement piece and be sustainable. all of the materials except the screws are from recycled material. I am still sourcing recycled brass to make this a fully recycled product. The chair consists of only three materials, which makes it easy to reproduce. I am looking into ways to make this product more compact for shipping purposes when it goes to production.
Design Challenge: The biggest problem with the design of this arm chair, was to find a way to have a comfortable and delicate, yet strong arm chair while using the least amount of materials. Thus using solid steel and hard wood was the way to go to achieve the desired effect. Light, flexible, sleek and strong.
Inspiration: Japanese minimalism and the use of negative space are the main inspirations for this project.
Project Duration: This project was conceived in Vancouver, Canada on march 26 2021 and completed on march 30TH 2021
Operation Flow: This design was made with the use of negative space being in the forefront. It is designed to feel as though not much space is being consumed, yet has a large presence. the construction is very strong and can hold weights that exceed 250lbs as tested.
