About Wearing 椅子

"Wearing"是一款可更换外套的椅子，其设计理念是让椅子像人一样"穿衣打扮"。设计提供三款外套可供选择：「缤纷」采用柔软的软包工艺，呈现层叠的面料肌理，以纽扣和拉链固定；「绅士」以皮革制成，饰有镂空效果，通过隐藏式搭扣与拉链固定；「蓬松」则运用羽绒服的肌理与填充工艺，外层为顺滑面料，内里填充羽绒棉。使用者可以随季节更替或心情变化更换椅套，让一把椅子演绎出截然不同的风格。

Unique Properties: If the chair also has life, it can feel the warmth and coldness. Then should he also have a few sets of his own four seasons clothes. My inspiration came from dressing the chair and unfolding. WEARING CHAIR is a changeable chair. Users can dress the chair in different clothes according to different moods in different seasons, and change the style and temperament of the chair at will to meet the different needs of users.

Production Technology: "COLORFUL" adopts the soft package method, in which the organic texture of clothes and fabrics is applied, and buttons and zippers are used for fixing. "GENTLEMAN" is made of leather. At the same time, the hollow-out effect is designed, and the structure is fixed in the form of concealed buckle and zipper. "FLUFFY" applies the texture and filling method of down jacket to the design of chair clothes. The fabric is smooth and feels smooth, and down cotton is used as the filling inside.
Design Challenge: The research process is complicated. Through a large number of investigations and offline interviews, the current development trend of furniture and the ergonomic structure of chairs are studied, and a large number of data tests are done to meet the comfortable use. At present, there are some problems such as packaging, market, mass production and listing.
Research: The development of furniture is inseparable from the fact that the current society is in a changing environment, and the society is in the process of rapid development. With the rapid improvement of modern people's living standards and the increasing spiritual needs, more and more people's demands for accommodation are no longer single functional residence, but more spiritual and cultural pursuits.
Inspiration: The first dress "COLORFUL" adopts the soft package method, which is inspired by the contrasting elements of clothing design, and the organic texture of clothes and fabrics is used in it to increase the sense of visual layering. The second dress "GENTLEMAN", inspired by leather, is made of leather. The third dress "FLUFFY", inspired by the down jacket, applies the texture and filling method of down jacket to the design of chair clothes, giving people a full and comfortable feeling.
