The Design

About Dcl Silya

Ang Dcl ay isang silya na ganap na gawa sa high density fiberboard. Ang bawat bahagi nito ay pinutol gamit ang CNC router. Ang silya ay pininturahan ng matingkad at solidong kulay, at maaaring ilapat ang anumang kulay. Kapag tiningnan mula sa malayo, ang Dcl ay halos mukhang isang kubikong bloke ng solidong kulay sa halip na isang silya. Ang disenyo ay sumusunod sa isang pag-aaral ng silya ng Italyanong arkitekto at taga-disenyo na si Cesare Leonardi, na nanatiling isang modelong kahoy at hindi kailanman naipagawa. Ang pangalang Dcl ay nangangahulugang Dopo Cesare Leonardi, na ang ibig sabihin ay Pagkatapos ni Cesare Leonardi. Ang silya ay may sukat na 55 x 50 x 70 sentimetro.

Unique Properties
It's a chair made entirely of HDF and painted with a bright solid color - any color - and looks like, when spotted, almost not a chair but a sort of a cubic block of solid massive color.
Dimensions & Packaging
55 x 50 x 70 cm
Tags
chair, concept chair, contemporary chair, basic chair, colorful chair
Production Technology
HDF cut in a CNC router.
Design Challenge
In this particular case, there was not "a hardest part of design", which is very rare in any of my designs.
Research
I simply found in the internet a photo of one interesting study of chair made by the Italian architect and designer Cesare Leonardi. Since Leonardi's chair was not developed nor produced, I thought I could "devevelop it, as I was a Leonardi's team member, and started make a model of of it, changing material, changing form and proportions and making it in a more logic way, seaching for a better proportion and confort for a chair of plain HDF (Leonardi's chair was made of solid wood). The result: my chair is very basic, more logic than Leonardi's; my chair is a concept chair. DCL means Dopo Cesare Leonardi (After Cesare Leonardi).
Inspiration
My inspiration was a chair study made by Cesare Leonardi, an Italian architect and designer. Leonardi's chair was nothing more than a wooden model and was not developed nor produced.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2025 in São Paulo and finished in October 2025.
Operation Flow
It's a chair.
Patents
The design was registered at IAB (Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil)
