The Design

About The Swing Chair Silya

Ang Swing Chair ay isang upuan na hango sa disenyo ng duyan. Ang disenyo ay tumutugon sa galaw ng katawan at lumilikha ng dinamikong interaksyon para sa relaksasyon at paglalaro. Ang upuan at ang sandalan ay flexible at maaaring i-adjust, kaya sumusunod ang mga ito sa nais na posisyon at galaw ng nakaupo. Ang anggulo sa pagitan ng upuan at sandalan ay maaaring magbago mula 120 hanggang 133 degrees. Ang istraktura ay isang kubo na may sukat na 61x61x61 sentimetro. Ginamit ang oak wood para sa frame, plywood para sa upuan at sandalan, at cotton cord para sa mga bahaging umiindayog. Ang magaspang na cord ay lumilikha ng friction sa kahoy, na nagpapanatili sa galaw na kontrolado at ligtas.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Inspired by the swing, this chair aims to respond with human body movements and create a dynamic interaction with the users - for them to relax and play. The seat and backrest are flexible and adjustable in a way that they are able to follow users’ preferred sitting positions and their movements while sitting. It also has a minimal structure: seat and backrest supported by a simple frame (61x61x61cm), giving the seat floating and chair lightweight.
Dimensions & Packaging: The chair is in a "perfect cube" structure: 61x61x61cm.
Tags: Chair, Sustainable, Playful, Moveable Seats, Swing
Production Technology: The material here I used Oak wood for the structure, plywood for the seat and backrest, cotton cord for the swing, and rubber screw to connect the backrest.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design is to control the level of movement, which is affected by the design as well as the material. Allowing too much movement would cause a user to fall off the chair. The thick cotton cord has rough texture and thus create good friction with the wood, in this way, it allows the seat to still create movements but in a controlled and safe way.
Inspiration: This chair is inspired by the swing. I want to incorporate the playfulness and movement of swing into a chair which is normally considered to have a fixed angle between seat and backrest.
Project Duration: This project is completed in Copenhagen in 2017; the duration of design and production took around 2 months.
Operation Flow: Both the seat and backrest are adjustable based on user's movement. The angle between the seat and backrest could be adjusted from 120 to 133 degree (please see the image above).
