About Golf Isihlalo Esisongwayo, Ibhentshi Elisongwayo
I-Golf iyibhentshi kanye nesihlalo esisongwayo esenziwe ngokuphelele ngokhuni. Ukwakheka kwakho kuhlanganisa izingxenye ezinesakhiwo esirekthangula kanye nesiyindilinga, futhi izingxenye eziyindilinga zibunjwe ukuze zihambisane ngendlela ye-ergonomic nomzimba womuntu. Zonke izinso kanye nezingxenye zokuhlanganisa nazo zenziwe ngokhuni, okunikeza lezi zinto isimo esinobuciko bezandla ngokwengeziwe. Ukuqiniswa kwenziwa ngamapini okhuni lweSucupira, akhethwe ngenxa yokumelana kwawo, ngakho awadingeki amaphathi ensimbi. Uma sekusongiwe, ibhentshi kanye nesihlalo zakha imivinjelo emincane engathwalwa ngesandla futhi igcinwe endaweni encane.

- Unique Properties
- This design, try to achieve a relationship between the rectangular and the cylindrical elements, the latter having a special ergonomic relationship with the human body.
The folding bench and chair are made of natural wood, which guarantees great mechanical resistance.
All hinge and fittings systems are made with the same wood, giving the piece a more artisanal character.
The pieces are foldable, allowing it to be stored in a smaller space. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Bench with the dimensions of 12x36x62cm while folded, with a heigh of 45cm when opened.
Chair with the dimensions of 12x36x76cm while folded, with a heigh of 80cm when opened - Tags
- Bench, Wood, Chair, Seat, Folding
- Production Technology
- The Golf bench and the chair, which result from the introduction of a back element, have as their main characteristic, their constructive aspect and the fact that once dismantled they become reduced respectively to an easy-to-transport parallelepiped measuring 12x36x62cm (bench) and 12x36x76cm (chair).
From a construction point of view, it is used exclusively wood, for all articulating and fixing elements of the rectangular section pieces (95x17cm) with the cylindrical parts with a diameter of 35cm. Fixing is achieved using Sucupira wood dowels (more resistant) with a diameter of 10mm. - Design Challenge
- It was necessary to find a type of wood able to connect the different peices of the design, granting it stability and rigidity once in the open position, assuring stability to the shape, paramount for the comfort in the sitting down position , together with the challenge of designing the interconnection mechanisms between the different parts of the design, assuring their longevity withou using metal parts
- Research
- It was necessary to find a type of wood able to connect the different peices of the design, granting it stability and rigidity once in the open position, paramount for its confortability, together with the challenge of designing mechanisms between the different parts of the design, assuring their longevity.It is used exclusively wood, even for all articulating and fixing elements. connections are achieved using Sucupira wood dowels for its resistance with a diameter of 10mm.
- Inspiration
- The traditional image of a bench resulting from the use of a segment of a tree trunk served as inspiration for the option of using rectangular and cylindrical section elements to compose this Design through wich, is intended to reach a relationship between its shapes and the human ergonomy.
All hinge and fittings systems and elements are made with the same wood, giving the piece a more artisanal character. - Project Duration
- The project started in February 2022 in Lisbon and Finished in August 2023 in Lisbon.
- Operation Flow
- The mobility dimension, and the physical characteristics of this bench and chair allows easier manual transport while allowing it a multifunctionality of uses.It should be noted that the cylindrical elements allow for an easier manual transport of both the bench and the chair, and that the pieces are foldable, allowing it to be stored in a smaller space.
