Malunga ne-Soli Isitulo
ISoli sisitulo esiyilelwe ukuhlala kwemihla ngemihla. Uyilo lulinganisa i-ergonomics, ukukhanya kwembonakalo kunye nokuchaneka kwesakhiwo. Isakhiwo somthi oqinileyo senziwe ngomthi weJequitiba ophinde watyalwa nofunyenwe ngendlela enoxanduva, oneenguqu ezigudileyo neziqhubekayo phakathi kwemilenze, indawo yokuhlala kunye nesixhaso somqolo. Isixhaso somqolo esigobileyo sambathiswe ngesikhumba kwaye sikhokela indlela yokuhlala ngaphandle kwaso nasiphi na isixhobo sokulungelelanisa. Iigophe ezilandela isimo somzimba kunye nefom yomsebenzi ophezulu zinika ukuphumla. Ukucholwa ngoomatshini bezoshishino kuqinisekisa ukuchaneka, ngelixa ukugqibezela ngezandla okulawulweyo kugcina ubunyani bemathiriyeli kunye nokomelela.

- Iimpawu Ezizodwa
- The chair explores the balance between ergonomics visual lightness and structural precision resulting in a contemporary piece with sculptural presence. Its solid wood structure features smooth and continuous transitions between legs seat and backrest highlighting craftsmanship and technical mastery. The curved leather upholstered backrest gently supports the body while precise stitching and hand finishing reinforce material integrity and the uniqueness of each piece.
- Imilinganiselo nePakishini
- Width: 560 mm x Depth: 600 mm x Height: 840 mm. Height Seat: 460 mm.
- Iithegi
- Wooden chair, Sustainable design, Ergonomic chair, Contemporary furniture, Organic curves, Eco-friendly materials, Brazilian Furniture, Brazilian Culture.
- Ubuchwepheshe Bokuvelisa
- The chair production is guided by sustainability and industrial efficiency. It uses responsibly sourced reforested Jequitiba wood and components designed to reduce waste throughout manufacturing. The seat incorporates curves that adapt to human anatomy combined with high performance foam for comfort and support. Industrial machining ensures precision and repeatability while controlled manual finishing preserves material integrity and durability.
- Umngeni Woyilo
- The main challenge was balancing ergonomics and form. Developing a continuous curved backrest capable of adapting to different bodies required extensive research, testing, and fine adjustments. Manufacturing the wooden structure demanded high technical precision to achieve organic forms and smooth transitions without compromising structural strength. Integrating wood and leather also required careful detailing to ensure durability, comfort, and consistent aesthetic quality in potential scaled production.
- Uphando
- This design project was developed through research into sustainable materials applied to contemporary furniture, combined with an understanding of function as an adaptive element responsive to different bodies and contexts. The design process integrated hand sketching, 3D modeling, and full-scale prototyping to refine form, structure, and ergonomics, particularly the backrest curvature. The combination of wood and leather references Brazilian modern furniture, positioning craftsmanship as the conceptual core of the object.
- Inkuthazo
- The Soli chair inspire by a synthesis of form, identity, and materiality. Its design is structured as a continuous gesture, in which seat and backrest are unified through a single curve. Each curvature is carefully dimensioned to accommodate diverse body types, reflecting the plurality of Brazilian culture. Inspired by traditional wooden furniture and natural elements such as branches and animal horns, the combination of wood and leather emphasizes material honesty, lightness, stability, and tactile comfort, enhancing the users sensorial experience.
- Ubude Beprojekthi
- The Soli chair was developed through close collaboration between designer and manufacturer with the objective of creating a chair that intuitively adapts to the human body. Completed in 2025 the project followed a rigorous development process with multiple prototypes ergonomic adjustments and formal refinements. The result is a contemporary chair that balances comfort aesthetic identity and production feasibility reflecting research collaboration and care in its creation.
- Ukuhamba Komsebenzi
- The chair works as a single, continuous gesture. The seat supports the body, while the curved backrest approaches like an embrace, intuitively guiding posture. There are no adjustments or mechanisms: comfort comes directly from the form itself, which naturally adapts to different body types. The wooden structure sustains this movement with lightness and stability, transforming the act of sitting into a natural, welcoming, and efficient everyday experience.
