STRAIGHT CHAIR "laid back"
Andreas Riess, 2023
My interpretation of a straight chair according to the principles of both simplicity in design and manufacturing techniques and sustainable materials.
A chair is a piece of furniture designed for sitting, typically consisting of a raised surface, known as a seat, and a backrest that provides support and stability. The primary purpose of a chair is to provide a comfortable and ergonomic seating option for individuals.
The seat and backrest of the chair are made of matt lacquered molded beech plywood. This material choice offers durability and strength while providing a smooth and comfortable surface for sitting. Beech plywood is known for its stability and resistance to warping, making it suitable for supporting body weight.
The frame of the chair is constructed using matt black lacquered spruce. This choice of material combines aesthetics with durability. Spruce is a lightweight and strong type of wood that can withstand the stresses of everyday use. The matt black lacquered finish adds an elegant touch to the chair's overall appearance.
The chair's design ensures that the seat and backrest are at the perfect angle to provide a comfortable sitting experience. The molded beech plywood seat and backrest offer ergonomic support, while the backrest is designed to provide proper lumbar support. The chair's seat height is set to the average user's comfort level.
The combination of beech plywood and spruce provides a balance between lightness and durability. While the materials are relatively lightweight, they are strong enough to support the weight of a person. This ensures that the chair remains sturdy and long-lasting.
The chair design incorporates simple shapes, such as straight lines and smooth curves, to keep the manufacturing effort low. The use of molded beech plywood and spruce allows for straightforward production processes, such as cutting, shaping, and assembling the components.
Both beech plywood and spruce can be sourced sustainably. By opting for these materials, your chair promotes the use of renewable resources.
Overall, the chair combines a matt lacquered molded beech plywood seat and backrest with a matt black lacquered spruce frame. The design prioritizes comfort, durability, simplicity, and sustainability, resulting in a functional and aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture.
