- The greatest challenge of the Maria Armchair was balancing aesthetic robustness with genuine comfort. The focus was on adjusting the padding to the ideal amount, ensuring ease of use and a welcoming feel. The chair needed to convey and deliver comfort, which required successive ergonomic refinements, cuts, and stitching aligned with the product’s language. In addition, challenges of CNC machining and sustainable material selection were overcome, merging tradition and innovation.
- ᱜᱚᱵᱮᱥᱚᱱᱟ
- The research for the Maria armchair was exploratory, aiming to combine comfort, affection, and sophistication. The methodology included ergonomic analysis, proportion testing, and the study of Brazilian carpentry. Data were collected through cnc prototyping, manual evaluations, and user interviews. Artisans and potential consumers participated. The result was a robust yet welcoming design that merges tradition and innovation. Its impact extends to the authorial furniture market, cultural appreciation, and the promotion of well-being at home.
