About The Once Collection Утыру урыны

"Once" коллекциясе — урындык һәм бар-табуреттан торган утыру урыннары төркеме. Һәр утыргыч лазер белән кисеп ясалган ике металл формадан җыелып, ешкәртеп (кайнатып) ялгана. Металл берләшеп бердәм үзәк аякка әйләнә, ул исә мендәрләр өчен таяныч булып тагын икегә аерыла. Идән белән өч тоташу ноктасы тотрыклылык тәэмин итә. Мендәрләр агач нигездәге поролоннан ясала һәм үлчәмгә туры китереп тегелгән сыер тиресе белән тышлана. Аркалыклар менталь (шарнир) ярдәмендә тоташтырылган, шуңа күрә алар утырган кешенең гәүдәсенә җайлашалар. Ике вариант тәкъдим ителә: берсе — Corten корычыннан, икенчесе исә кара төскә буялган.

Unique Properties
At Dasein Products, they are always looking for an unique approach without compromising in functionality or comfort. In this case a chair and a barstool. These seats are made of a laser-cut metal construction and with cowhide upholstered foam cushions.

The metals form a strong single legged chair but split again to become supports for the cushions.

The seating cushion is directly fixed on the metal. The backrests are connected by a hinge so that they can adapt to the seated person.
Dimensions & Packaging
Barstool : Width 50 cm x Depth 40 cm x Height 110 cm
Stool: Width 50 cm x Depth 40 cm x Height 80 cm

Production Technology
The chairs are made of 2 forms of laser-cut metal that are welded together. There is the Corten steel version and the black version that needs painting after the welding.

The cushions are made of foam on wooden base. They are covered with cowhide that was first sewn to size.
Design Challenge
It is not that easy to generate an elegant yet comfortable chair that looks different from the rest. It’s production needs good machinery but mostly specialized craftsmanship.
Research
A stool has to be stable. Hence the 3 contact points with the floor. It is important that the ones at the rear are far enough to the back to prevent flipping.

Secondly it needs to be strong and not heavy. By using plate metal that was cut and welded in a well thought out manner, Dasein Products was able to reduce the number of legs. You will also see that there are no weak corners but that direction change is made through rounded angles.

For comfort, there are no hard and inflexible contact with the seated.
Inspiration
Design should be functional. It is limited by laws of nature. The challenge was to create an unique (bar)stool by exploring materials and production methods.

A chair needs to be strong, stable, light and comfortable. A good design combines all this with a unique look.
Project Duration
A similar design was made by the designer as a student when he was assigned to create an ode to Japanese product designer Tohiyuki Kita. It refers to his Wink chair and his Kick table. The designer picked the idea up again and early 2020 and reshaped the homage according his current ideas.
Operation Flow
This is some comfortable sitting. The bicycle seat changes the position of the legs which relieves the spine and back muscles. And the back itself is extra supported by the hinged supports.
