About Cloud Sandalye
Cloud, Japonya'da Okinawa Adası'nın kıyısında görülen bir sağanak yağmurdan esinlenerek tasarlanmış bir sandalyedir. Oturma yüzeyi, poliester elyafın iğneyle poliüretan süngere batırılmasıyla oluşturulmuş ve yumuşak, buluta benzer bir görünüm elde edilmiştir. Yüksek oturma yüzeyi, oturan kişiye havada süzülme hissi verir. Ayna gibi parlak paslanmaz çelik ayaklar ve kaide, yağan yağmuru ifade eden ince yuvarlak çubuklardan oluşturulmuştur. Çubukların sayısı, uzunluğu ve çapı özenle belirlenmiştir. Cloud; paslanmaz çelik, poliester elyaf, ahşap ve poliüretan sünger kullanılarak el yapımı olarak üretilmiştir.

- Research
- I feel like the products in the world are now uniform.
Different regions have their own culture and nature.
Among them, I paid attention to nature.
I think of naturally inspired designs.
After that, repeat the verification of the material and structure.
I will announce the created design to the world and aim for commercialization.
I believe that doing so will enrich the uniform world. - Inspiration
- The sky is connected everywhere in the world.
Many people have seen clouds.
A design inspired by nature will resonate with various people.
I live on Okinawa Island south of Japan.
One day, I saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast.
The idea of this chair came up from the scenery at that time. - Project Duration
- The project started in April 2019 and ended in October 2019.
- Operation Flow
- I think there are many people who have imagined when they were children that they could sit on clouds.
I realized that imagination.
Poetic products enrich the emotions of users.
In addition, this product makes the surrounding space visually enjoyable. - Image Credits
