About Poufs With 1000 Ways to Arranged 坐墩

Chairry 是一款专为共享空间与公共室内环境设计的模块化坐墩系统。每个坐墩呈扇形(楔形)造型,因此多个单元可以拼接组合成方形、圆形以及多种其他图案。单个坐墩可提供私密的独立座位,而围合成圆形的排列方式则有助于促进群体交流互动。每张座椅采用三维机器切割的聚苯乙烯芯体制成,以胶合板加固,外覆泡棉与绒布面料。每个单元的尺寸为宽 650 毫米、深 650 毫米、高 450 毫米。闲置时,这些坐墩可以叠放收纳,仅占用很小的存储空间。

Production Technology
As far as design methodology, the his initial design focus was multi-functionality and storage efficiency. The designer's furniture can be rearranged to suit the need of the user. When not in use, the poufs can be arranged or stacked stylistically in a discrete location. Secondly, the designer wanted to focus on ergonomics and comfort.
Each pouf seats made of a piece of 3D machine cut polystyrene strengthened with plywood and covered with foam and fleece.
Design Challenge
The making skill is a difficult challenge. The designer visited tatami maker, bamboo artist, grass weaving studio. None of them could make pie shape furniture, not to mention link them together. After surveying many places, the designer decided to use fleece fabric for sitting comfort concern.
Research
As cutting a pie, the designer moved each piece as if the pie shapes were connected together and made a square. Then he thought about what he could make using this design idea. Initially, the designer thought about creating a children's toy. Finally, he decided to create something where people could rearrange modules to suit their need. This could incorporate functionality with individual creativity.
Inspiration
When cutting a circular piece of paper into slices and playing with them , the pieces fell into so many shapes and patterns while connected to each other so the idea grew to make a child's toy. This developed into building a toy for adults to play with, therefore Chairry was born.
Project Duration
The project started in April, 2019 in Taipei and finished in August, 2019 in the same location.
Operation Flow
Unlike an open space with an ordinary pouf, these poufs can be set up stylistically in eye catching patterns for interior decoration or used functionally in a circular formation for peoples’ interaction as well as separated into smaller groups of two or three for persons’ privacy.
