RESEARCH ABSTRACT: researches for good quality and good aesthetics, drive me to a cube. the research conducted was based on the possibility of designing several products in only one single product. Beside its high efficiency, there is also a research about its ergonomics, that is the most important factor for design a chair.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge was to put the simplicity, beauty and efficiency all together in one single product. On the way of designing, I faced other challenges, such as designing the joints and the comb-like mechanism in the same firmness and aesthetic features. The simple and strong form , and the ideal application along with exact engineering and the use of popular and recyclable wood material with aluminum, has created a design that brings a sense of firmness and modern aesthetic to the atmosphere of the home, bar or restaurant.
