Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The Tux collection is crafted, emphasizing both style and functionality. The challenge involves seamlessly integrating an aesthetically pleasing design with ergonomic features. The chair's specialized two-part structure is engineered to provide optimal support to the lower back while effectively hiding the mechanisms beneath the seat. This approach is committed to preserving the natural curvature of the spine, preventing discomfort commonly linked with extended periods of sitting. Furthermore, the structure discreetly conceals the mechanical elements beneath the seat, elevating the chair's distinct character and distinguishing it from typical office chairs.
Dimensions & Packaging: The dimensions vary depending on the particular model.
Tags: chair, office furniture, iconic, ergonomic
Production Technology: Body comprises a metal frame, featuring fr polyurethane covered in fabric, complemented by various legs depending on the model type.
Design Challenge: Redefining the paradigm of office furniture through a versatile design that seamlessly adapts to office chairs, lounge seating, and visitor chairs alike. This innovative approach aims to deliver not only unparalleled comfort but also an aesthetic appeal that captivates the senses. The challenge lies in crafting a solution that harmoniously fits into all styles of workspaces, boasting a timeless and elegant design that transcends fleeting trends. By blending ergonomic excellence into contemporary design sensibilities, the task at hand is to create a transformative piece that not only meets the functional needs of diverse workplace settings but also stands as a beacon of style and sophistication in the ever-evolving landscape of modern office aesthetics.
Research: The adoption of hybrid work models has become a prominent trend. The research indicates a shift towards a flexible work environment, with employees splitting their time between remote work and in-person collaboration. This change is driven by advancements in communication technology and a growing emphasis on work-life balance. Changing workspace habits reflect an increased emphasis on employee well-being. Employers are recognizing the importance of creating environments that support physical and mental health. The incorporation of ergonomic office furniture stands out as a crucial element in creating work environments that prioritize employee health and productivity.
Inspiration: Tux family derives its inspiration from the tuxedo, known for its formal, elegant appearance and clean lines. Chair, characterized by its iconic outline, is created to remain relevant over the years, similar to a tailor fitted tuxedo.
Project Duration: Started in Istanbul May 2022, Presented at IFF Istanbul 2023
