About Zero 太陽躺椅

Zero係一款專為戶外空間設計嘅模組化太陽躺椅。座位擱喺一個圓柱形支架上面，令躺椅保持平衡，同時形成一個雕塑感十足嘅設計元素。圓柱有兩種模組化長度，分別係0.90米同1.80米，所以可以單獨使用一張躺椅，又或者將多個單元組合埋一齊。呢啲部件可以擺喺對面兩側，又或者擺喺同一側，適合家居、酒店同泳池區域嘅多種佈局。圓柱採用實心Cumaru木製造，並用螺絲固定喺鋁芯上面。模壓成型嘅鋁座位設有符合人體工學嘅曲線，帶嚟舒適嘅體驗。

Production Technology: The cylindrical part is composed of solid Cumaru wood, a resistant Brazilian wood that has a good performance in the external area, the slatted wood is screwed to an internal aluminum core. The lounger was molded in aluminum, received electrostatic painting and synthetic cast canvas. The seat has an anatomical curve, which provides comfort to the user.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was to find the right and comfortable curve for the user to lie on the piece.
Research: The research took place in the main field of finding the necessary comfort and angle for the curve of the chaise, it was necessary to simulate the body in a semi-lying position to find the position, after this search for the best design, it was necessary to study the best way to structure the two pieces, the cylinder that needed a metallic soul, and the deck chair that needed reinforcement on the bottom, but in a convex shape so as not to touch the user's body and bring discomfort.
Inspiration: The simple geometry of the circle inspired the creation of this product, which was born from a free sketch. The main piece, which is a seat, rests on the tubular piece, which in addition to supporting and balancing the lounger, creates a provocative and sculptural element.
Project Duration: The project was conceived in September 2018 in São Paulo, the prototype started in September 2019 in São Paulo, being presented at the launch of the Mais 55 Design brand in São Paulo in June 2020 through a live presentation on Casa Vogue Brasil's Instagram.
Operation Flow: The main piece, which is the sun lounger, has a curve in the headboard that does not reach the floor, the piece's sustenance occurs in the fitting and support of the cylindrical piece, thus forming a harmonious set between two different materials, with different shapes.
