About Cecilia 扶手椅

Cecilia係一張用回收同廢棄物料製成嘅扶手椅。結構由剩餘木材壓製成嘅木條搭建而成，設計成闊大嘅椅腳同寬闊嘅座位，令短小嘅邊角料都可以派上用場。椅背由細小嘅剩餘布料綁喺一個內含泡棉嘅彈性底座上，形成柔軟嘅體積，增添舒適感。座位用廢棄皮革製成，可以加上補丁同細節，令每張扶手椅都獨一無二。低矮而傾斜嘅造型令人想坐低休息，並遵循斯堪的納維亞風格。

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.
