DESIGN NAME:
Cloud
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Chair
INSPIRATION:
The sky is connected everywhere in the world.
Many people have seen clouds.
A design inspired by nature will resonate with various people.
I live on Okinawa Island south of Japan.
One day, I saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast.
The idea of this chair came up from the scenery at that time.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This is a cloud-like chair that is raining.
The seating surface enables a cloud-like expression by piercing polyester fiber into the polyurethane foam with a needle.
A high seat gives the seated person a floating.
In addition, the mirror-like stainless steel legs and pedestal made it possible to express the rain.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
I think there are many people who have imagined when they were children that they could sit on clouds.
I realized that imagination.
Poetic products enrich the emotions of users.
In addition, this product makes the surrounding space visually enjoyable.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in April 2019 and ended in October 2019.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
I feel like the products in the world are now uniform.
Different regions have their own culture and nature.
Among them, I paid attention to nature.
I think of naturally inspired designs.
After that, repeat the verification of the material and structure.
I will announce the created design to the world and aim for commercialization.
I believe that doing so will enrich the uniform world.
CHALLENGE:
In addition, the number, length, and diameter of stainless steel round bars that express rain were carefully determined.
