Balustrade Chair

Zhejiang Sci-Tech University Chair Furniture

Balustrade

Balustrade is a chair designed for short and temporary rest. The design is inspired by unconscious behaviour, such as leaning on a table or against a balustrade. Balustrade offers two sitting positions. The first is sitting directly on the top, like a chair. The second is a leaning posture, like leaning on a railing. The form is simple, and the intent is brief use rather than long comfort. Several units can be overlapped to reduce transport volume. The chair measures 620 by 385 by 720 millimetres.

Colored Finch Chair

Wingstone Casa Chair Furniture

Colored Finch

Colored Finch is a chair inspired by the shape of a finch. The backrest appears straight from the front and curves at the sides, combining form and comfort. The backrest and seat are made of handmade multi-layer wood, shaped as double-layer curved wood. The legs are metal tubes covered with layers of handmade fabric. The limited use of non-renewable materials in the legs supports environmental care. Sixteen prototypes were built, and a test dummy was used to study seating positions and set the final size. The chair measures 490 mm in width, 550 mm in depth and 810 mm in height.

Lydia Chair

Ziel Home Furnishing Technology Co., Ltd Chair Furniture

Lydia

Lydia is a chair designed as part of a furniture series for home interiors.

The design is innovative and elegant at the same time and the name "Lu" derives from "luggage" because of its ease of being resealable and transportable wherever you want (during a move, in a holiday home, etc).

Bio Chair

Vladimir Zagorac Chair Furniture

Bio is a low armchair collection designed for use in modern interiors.

The materials include molded thermoplastics, steel, cast aluminum, oak wood and leather.

Familial Chair

Amirhassan Arefipour Chair Furniture

Familial

Familial is a wooden chair designed for use by both children and adults. A simple motion turns the chair over and converts it into a second configuration. One piece of furniture therefore serves two age groups, which saves space and reduces the amount of material required. The geometry and the angles of the chair were refined to keep the seat ergonomic and comfortable. Familial responds to the smaller living spaces of crowded cities, where multi-purpose furniture is useful. The design balances appearance and function.
