- Production Technology
- The chair is made from solid reforested wood, legally sourced and suitable for indoor use. The seat features eco-friendly leather and recycled foam. The parts are precisely machined using CNC machines, and the joints are made with only the wood itself and glue, concealing the screws. The wood is sanded multiple times to achieve a smooth finish and treated with a non-toxic varnish.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was balancing the durability and hardness of the wood with the need for ergonomic comfort. Achieving a seamless, screw-free design while maintaining structural integrity was a significant technical challenge. Additionally, sourcing sustainable wood and ensuring its compliance with environmental regulations required meticulous planning and coordination with suppliers.
- Research
- This design project explored sustainable material usage and ergonomic chair design, focusing on the interaction between form, function, and materiality. The research included an investigation of natural forms, inspiring the chair's curves, and investigated local materials with legal commercial permissions. The findings emphasized the importance of sustainable sourcing and ecological design, highlighting the balance between aesthetics, comfort, and environmental responsibility.
- Inspiration
- The Celina Chair draws inspiration from its name, which evokes meanings of heaven and celestial bodies. The design reflects lightness and grace, with flowing lines that evoke a sense of serenity and connection to the sky.
