About Ego Ang Armchair

Ang Ego ay isang armchair na idinisenyo upang mag-alok ng pagkakataong baguhin ang hitsura nito kahit kailan at anuman ang gusto mo. Kung naiinip ka sa color scheme hindi mo na kailangang bumili ng isa pang kasangkapan, kailangan mo lang ayusin ang posisyon ng mga elemento sa paraang gusto mo at magkakaroon ka ng bagong hitsura. Minsan ang isang hindi inaasahang pag-unlad o pagbabago ng mga pangyayari ay maaaring mangyari, pagbabago ng mood, hindi inaasahang bisita, kahit na ang panahon ay maaaring makaapekto sa iyong pananaw. Maaari mo na ngayong ipahayag ang iyong saloobin sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay sa interior ng bagong hitsura. I-slide lang ang malambot na elemento para makatanggap ng bagong pattern.

Production Technology: The main structure is made from a reinforced bent wooden material. Leg support is made from chrome. Soft cubes are created from memory foam covered with fabric.
Design Challenge: The hardest part was to decide which mechanism to use for changing the armchair pattern (moving the elements). Sliding elements was the most complicated method. Previous versions of the chair was based on attaching the soft parts to the back using magnets or Velcro.
Research: The main research was about the shape. It was simulated physically and then tested. Strength analysis were also applied using Finite element method (FEA).
Inspiration: Sometimes an unpredictable development or change of circumstances could happen, good or bad mood, unexpected guest, even the vagaries of weather. You can express you attitude by giving your interior new look. Nice and tidy, aggressive and chaotic, extravagant and erratic... you can express your mood by surrounding furniture.
Project Duration: The very first concept was created last summer. After several revisions the shape and function have been changed dramatically. 4 months were necessary to reach the final look. Location is Bulgaria.
Operation Flow: The soft elements of the armchair are movable. Between the bended back and soft parts there is a layer with grid attached to the main board. The soft elements can slide from one position to another and create different patterns according your desire.
