DESIGN NAME: Hip Chair
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office chair
INSPIRATION: In future workspaces, spaces and furniture must adapt to new technologies and new uses that the user uses in daily work.
Based on this premise we have created a chair that allows the user to adapt to each task that is faced in everyday life.
We have based ourselves on the behaviour of people's hips to create a chair that adapts to every use that the user needs at every moment of daily life.
Through the adaptive system seat, backrest and hip are synchronized to the movement of the user.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: HipChair redefines office work according to movement.
This chair that has top quality features , and it has been created to favour both intensive work at separate desks - Focus Work- and also more dynamic, adaptable work where there is freedom of movement and flexibility -Dynamic Work-.
Its design makes any type of task easier and it consolidates ergonomics because the body can move freely.
Being simple and sophisticated, HipChair has all the features of a high-end office chair
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Its design makes any type of task easier and it consolidates ergonomics because the body can move freely. It has a structure where the hips regulate the movement of the chair. Its innovative synchronized system helps control the movement of the chair through simple hip movements that are detected at the back of the chair, which enables the user to move naturally.
Being simple and sophisticated, HipChair has all the features of a high-end office chair created to become an essential tool in work areas, thanks to its comfort, ergonomics and design that guarantee high performance.
A chair created for the complete comfort of the user.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2016 in Valencia and finished in December 2017 in Hangzhou, and will be exhibited in CIFF Canton 2018.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Increasingly, the design and conception of objects is designed for a better adaptation to the user and the environment.
Today's society together with new technologies help the user to adopt new uses of it, so that the objects that surround it must adapt to the environment in a positive environment and thus contribute to better efficiency, health and ergonomics of both the user and the environment around us.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge in designing the hip chair was to synchronize the seat and backrest in one system.
This synchronized movement of seat and backrest through the user's hip should be as natural as possible.
Such synchronization has helped to improve the user experience in the working environment.
