About Cecilia 扶手椅

Cecilia 是一款以再利用与废弃材料打造的扶手椅。其结构由剩余木料压制而成的木条构成，设计出宽阔的椅脚与宽大的座面，使短小的边角料也能得以利用。椅背由零碎的剩余面料捆扎于内填泡棉的弹性基底上而成，形成柔软的体量并增添舒适度。座面采用废弃皮革制作，可拼接补丁与细节处理，因此每一把扶手椅都独一无二。低矮而后倾的造型令人乐于倚靠休憩，整体遵循斯堪的纳维亚风格。

Production Technology: Structure in pressed pieces of wood from reuse, Backseat a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied with a foam inside, and seat made by leather.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to use left over fabric for the backseat and left over wood for the structure. For the backseat we used a flexible base where small pieces of fabric were tied, creating an aesthetic volume an comfort while in use. For the structure, I designed larger feet and seat, that allowed me to use left over wood slats pressed.
Research: The research was made about types of sustainable and recycled materials, that could work in an aesthetic and functional way.
Inspiration: Inspired on the scandinavian style and with sustainable solutions, the armchair is a tribute to my grandmother, who was in love with handmade works, reflected on the backseat. She also loved nature and was short, that is why the armchair was made in a sustainable way and its design is lower, thought to be easier to use, welcoming and comfortable.
Project Duration: Started in November 2019 in Sao Paulo and finished in january 2020 in Santa Catarina.
Operation Flow: A lower armchair, made of comfortable materials to rest.
