O Design

Sobre Plit Cadeira sem Braços

Plit é uma cadeira sem braços concebida para interiores corporativos e residenciais. A superfície do assento é dividida no eixo vertical, criando dois lados que reagem de forma independente conforme o usuário desloca o peso e altera a postura. A superfície do assento é ranhurada para proporcionar melhor sustentação. A base é formada por duas tiras curvas de alumínio usinado e conformado a frio, com acabamentos polido e anodizado preto acetinado. O assento é de copolímero de polipropileno sobremoldado em torno de uma estrutura de alumínio, e a superfície é flexível, com uma textura matte suave. O design responde à natureza dinâmica do ato de sentar.

Propriedades Únicas: The typical seat is often imagined as a static entity, supporting the body in a linear way, disregarding the frequent changes in sitting poses and the shifting user weight. Plit chair proposes a new perspective by dividing the seating surface on the vertical axis to create two sides that react to the user independently as they re-adjust their pose. The seat surface is scored to provide better support. The base is composed of two curving strips to give the impression of fluidity and leniency.

Tecnologia de Produção: The structure of the chair is a combination of machined and cold-formed aluminum. The continuous strips that form the base feature a polished and a black satin finish applied through masked anodization to create a laminated effect. The seat is overmolded Polypropylene Copolymer around a machined aluminum internal frame to increase structural integrity, featuring a smooth matte finish with slight texturing, soft to the touch and flexible. The seat components are connected via a set of bolts.
Desafio de Design: The typical chair design assumes that seating positions are static and weight distribution is symmetrical on the vertical axis at all times. However, research suggests that sitting is a dynamic action and users naturally shift their body weight to regulate blood flow and balance tissue perfusion. This chair proposes a unique design by splitting the chair on the vertical axis. Through utilizing flexible materials, the chair can respond to the shifting body weight independently and asymmetrically.
Pesquisa: Although often envisioned as a static posture, sitting is a dynamic action. Seating surface applies pressure to the user’s body and forces them to shift their weight and realign their body to regulate blood flow and balance tissue perfusion. Research suggests that fidgeting starts within 30 minutes. This design addresses the dynamic nature of seating by splitting the chair into two sides that can flex independently and respond to the shift in weight distribution more actively and efficiently.
Inspiração: Inspired by the dynamic nature of sitting, in order to adaptively support the shifting poses and weight of the user, the chair form is split on the vertical axis creating two halves that can react to the user independently and asymmetrically. The effect of the split is inspired by the Onement series of paintings by Barnett Newman. The split creates a negative space that emphasizes independence yet, it also becomes the visual element that underlines and celebrates unity and totality.
Duração do Projeto: The project was started in May 2020 and completed in November 2020.
Fluxo de Operação: The chair is designed to deliver an unusual and comfortable seating experience while complementing modern corporate and residential interiors with its unique look. The flowing lines and sculptural aesthetic makes the chair ideal for creating focal points, however, the relatively simplistic features enable the designer to use the chair in a repeated fashion without overwhelming the intended visual composition.
