About Flora 扶手椅
Flora係一張為自由同隨意休息而設計嘅扶手椅。連綿不斷嘅曲線造型消除咗座位、靠背同扶手之間嘅界限，設計靈感嚟自花蕾綻放嘅一刻。不對稱嘅椅殼令使用者可以用多種姿勢坐、倚或者躺，無需任何機械裝置或調節。椅座採用tauari實木製造，椅殼則以壓製彎曲多層板製成，經人手打磨修飾，並以可持續物料包覆軟墊。一個可移動嘅圓筒咕𠱸為唔同使用方式提供額外承托。Flora嘅尺寸為108乘110乘90厘米。

- Production Technology
- Flora blends technological precision and artisanal skill. Its solid tauari wood base is sustainably sourced and finely crafted. The curved shell is molded from pressed multilaminates, finished by hand, and upholstered with eco-conscious materials. The roll cushion is crafted with care and offers flexible use. Entirely produced in Brazil, the process honors local furniture tradition with environmental awareness.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to break traditional ergonomics without losing comfort. Flora invites lying down, not just sitting, requiring a study of informal postures and new support criteria. Production was also a challenge, translating free curves into viable molds. Integrating sustainable materials without compromising aesthetics reinforced the project's vision as a new perspective on rest.
- Research
- The research aimed to rethink sitting from the perspective of the sensitive, not mechanical, body. Informal postures and daily gestures of rest were observed, leading to an asymmetrical, embracing form. Inspired by a blooming flower, Flora combines user testing, renewable materials, and intuitive design to propose a freer, more emotional, and everyday-connected experience of rest.
- Inspiration
- Flora was born from the desire to rethink the act of sitting, proposing a free and unstructured rest. Inspired by the shape of a blooming flower bud, its curved shell gently embraces the body. Without rigid divisions, it allows multiple uses, guided by the user's sensibility. More than function, it is a poetic proposal on being in space with affection, freedom, and truth.
- Project Duration
- The project began in 2020 and was first published in 2021 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
- Operation Flow
- Flora encourages intuitive, sensory interaction, breaking with the frontal use of traditional armchairs. Its curved, asymmetrical shape invites sitting, lying, or leaning freely. The adjustable cushion enhances comfort in various uses. With no mechanisms or adjustments, the piece welcomes spontaneously, promoting a natural flow between body, presence, and rest.
