Bubble Chair

Grigorii Gorkovenko Chair Furniture

Bubble

Bubble is a chair conceived as a collectible art object for private homes and public interiors.

Aluminium was selected for its plasticity, which the designer considers the most alive of materials. The chair is produced through handcraft and casting, and the surface is satin finished for a matte sheen. Eight months and eighty kilograms of metal were needed, giving the seat a unique texture.

Colored Finch Chair

Wingstone Casa Chair Furniture

Colored Finch

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.

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 form is inspired by the appearance of an elephant, and the full soft upholstery gives a comfortable and reliable feeling. Colour is used as the main styling element, since colour has a direct emotional effect on users. The iron frame uses a suspended and detachable structure. The soft upholstery can be washed and replaced, so a chair that becomes dirty or worn can be renewed instead of discarded. Flat packaging reduces transport costs, and shared modules support standardised production.

Bio Chair

Vladimir Zagorac Chair Furniture

Bio

Bio is a low armchair collection designed for use in modern interiors. The opening in the backrest recalls a leaf or a shell, and the shape changes near the outer edge into a form similar to the flower of the Calla aethiopica plant. This edge bends slightly backwards and rises on one side, creating an asymmetric silhouette. The asymmetry occurs only in the outer areas of the form, so comfort and ergonomics are preserved. The materials include molded thermoplastics, steel, cast aluminum, oak wood and leather.

Max Chair

Arthur Casas Chair Furniture

Max

The search for a complexity synthesized in a few lines was the main inspiration for Max Chair. With clean design and precise lines, this piece is a response to a structural challenge with a combination of materials. The light and slender fiberglass shell rests over four metallic support joints, while locked at the base (with axes that cross each other in an X shape), with Sucupira wood covering the feet. Its seat and backrest are part of the same volume, covered in natural Solana leather, with many studies on ergonomy to find a proper curvature and compact visuals.

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.
