About Motichair 吧椅
Motichair是一款专为落座与交谈而设计的吧椅。椅架以圆形连接各支撑点，使受力更为均衡，同时减少材料损耗。榫卯结构与全隐藏式燕尾榫的结合，令整体结构稳固可靠。座椅采用碳纤维复合材料与蒸汽弯曲木相结合的工艺制成。其造型灵感源自中国古典园林中的拱券与月洞门，圆形开口带来更为开阔的视觉感受。双色处理则在视觉上将各个圆形区分开来。

- Moti chair increases the strength of the chair while reducing the weight and size; take into account the sitting comfort while innovatively adopting a circular skeleton. Which breaks the traditional thoughts on seat structure and the public's understanding of the chair.
- Research
- We recruited 200 volunteers from different regions, ages and genders to participate in the research. After analyzing the differences between their living habits and hip shape, we finally selected the most suitable radians of the curve from 17 models. After research and analysis, we worked out the ideal diameter of the circle that placing two chairs side by side, and the distance between the two circle centers is the most comfortable distance we think people can communicate with.
- Inspiration
- The design is inspired by the arches, moon gate in ancient chinese gardens, the circular holes designation brings broader visual sense, which also implies that there is no barrier between communication. Sitting in the chair, you can free your thoughts and keep your mind flow unobstructed. Besides, this design also syndicates fulfilled and perfect.The idea of the moon inspiration is because of the traditional Chinese festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival.We like to sit on chair and chat with friends and enjoy the moonlight.
- Project Duration
- The Moti chair project starts in December 2019 and was completed in February 2020 in Shenzhen, China.
- Operation Flow
- The chair deliberately adopts a two-color treatment design and separates the circles independently. This special shape will attract people's attention. The distance of the invisible pedals is based on a precise measurement after the person sits on the chair, and this distance just guides people to put their feet on the pedals
