About Walky Stul
Walky — bu ichki makonlarga harakat hissini olib kirish uchun yaratilgan stul. Uning shakli yuruvchi odamning lahzasini aks ettiradi, bir nechta stul birga qo‘yilganda esa dinamiklik va ijtimoiy faollik taassurotini yaratadi. Orqa oyoqlari shakllantirilgan yog‘och "poyabzallar" bilan tugaydi, bu esa stulga o‘yinqaroq xarakter beradi. Walky qattiq zarang va yong‘oq yog‘ochidan tayyorlangan. Markaziy ulagich egilgan-laminatsiyalangan yog‘ochdan bo‘lib, qo‘lda frezerlangan va shakllantirilgan. O‘rindiq CNC mashinasi yordamida kesilgan, orqa suyanchiq, oyoqlar, konstruksiya va "poyabzallar" esa qo‘lda shakllantirilgan va o‘yilgan. Stulning kengligi 500 mm, chuqurligi 590 mm va balandligi 790 mm ni tashkil etadi.

- Production Technology
- Solid ash and walnut.
Bent-laminated wood routered and hand-shaped to make the central connector of the chair.
Hand-shaped backrest.
CNC Seat
Hand-turned legs, structure, and shoes. - Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this project was bringing the idea to life. The design has no flat surfaces or edges, so the construction of the prototype required of previous study mock-ups and high precision craftsmanship to make it possible.
It was a challenge to make the central bent piece that connects the chair parts and to make it look like a dowel. Also, it was tricky to find the right woods and type of joints for the back legs resistant enough to support the weights required. - Research
- A thorough secondary and comparative research, of what the market offered and why the chair design world is where it is, indicated a void in motion and personality in chair design. Most of the chair designs only vary through shape and materials and does not address the personal dialogue with the user psyche. Sitting is a personal and dynamic activity, and it makes no sense why the chair design is so static and lacks interaction and dialogue between user and product.
- Inspiration
- The human has forgotten how to build community, he designs and produces individualistic objects continuously, not focusing on the importance of social and human connections in today's world. Additionally, movement is an essential component of life, and today's pandemic situation has exposed it as a critical void that design must incorporate into interiors. Walky Chair captures the moment of a person walking, and multiplied within a space, provides a sense of dynamism and social activity.
- Project Duration
- This project started in September 2019 and finished in November 2019 in Savannah, GA. It got the 2020 NYCxDesign Award in the student category and will be part of the SaloneSatellite 2021 Exhibition.
- Operation Flow
- Walky is a comfortable ergonomic chair made for personal and social activity. The experience the user has when sitting on it is unique, and it varies from person to person. The chair brings back infinite memories, connects with people because of its human attributes, and brings an energetic, playful character to any place it touches. The back legs, combined with the shoes, and their position, make the chair feel light and moving. Walky is a chair that evokes movement without moving.
