Sobre Little Thunder Butaca

Little Thunder és una butaca dissenyada per a llars i espais de treball. L'estructura es basa en una volta, una forma de mig cilindre utilitzada en arquitectura des de l'antiguitat. La volta confereix resistència a la butaca alhora que empra els materials de manera continguda. A la forma corba bàsica s'hi afegeixen un seient i un respatller. La butaca està feta de panells de fusta multicapa emmotllats en grans motlles. La superfície es pot lacar en diversos colors o revestir amb xapa de noguera. La butaca fa 800 mm d'amplada, 630 mm de fondària i 730 mm d'alçada.

Propietats Úniques: This armchair employs a vault shape, which is one of the most robust structure possible with these materials. It also is highly decorative – examples of this architecture can be found going back to antiquity. Little Thunder’s timeless design means it will be a prized piece for years, isn't it the hallmark of a truly environmentally and social responsible design ?
Dimensions i Embalatge: Width : 800 mm, depth : 630 mm, Height : 730 mm.
Etiquetes: Armchair, arch, vault, wood, Little Thunder.
Tecnologia de Producció: After making the foundational decision to adopt an vault structure, the design process progressed rather quickly. The fine-tuning process was meticulous, as we had to account for ergonomic factors. The manufacturing process requires specific skills, including multi-layer wood panels using large moulds. The suggested model is lacquered (with several colour options) or uses walnut wood veneer.
Repte de Disseny: The challenge was to design a furniture item, visually powerful enough to represent the diversification strategy of the company. It had to be manufactured in small series, ideally by one or several craftsmen.
Recerca: This armchair was developed for business and home uses. It will fit perfectly in an office or waiting room setting as well as in a living room or home office.
Inspiració: The Little Thunder armchair was born of our desire to create a very geometrically stable seat while using materials rigorously. The idea of a half-cylinder soon became obvious because its structure is so effective. Simply adding a seat and backrest to the basic shape can bring the same strong sensations as a summer thunderstorm.
Durada del Projecte: We first began designing this armchair about a year and a half ago (in early 2018). After a number of sketches and 3D-printed scale models, we adjusted the shape to best suit ergonomic seating positions.
The study and production of the laminated timber armchair were done in Chambéry (Savoy), France.
Flux d'Operació: This armchair is designed to create a visual impact on its environment. Its shapes and geometric curves give it a highly graphical and surprising character. The lines crisscross but never clash, after numerous attempts to find a clean, comfortable result. Several finishes are offered to best match your desired indoor decoration.
Finally, further studies have yielded versions with wider armrests and strengthened, decorative bases.
