Om Misfit Stol

Misfit er en stol i træ designet til at understøtte varierede sidepositioner. Stolen er fremstillet af bøgetræ og efterbehandlet med sat lak, som fremhæver materialets naturlige farve. Buede baglæn forbinder til en halvcirkelformet ryglæn, som er formet ved lamineringsbøjning. Benene, ryglænet og tværstiverne mødes i forskellige vinkler og danner en balanceret helhed. Tap- og hulsamlinger samt kilesamlinger sikrer stabilitet og holdbarhed. Den halvcirkelformede ryglæn støtter rygsøjlen og fungerer også som støtte, når brugeren sidder på siden.

Produktionsteknologi: The backrest was made through lamination bending, and all legs and crossbars were pulled out from angled wooden rods converted into round wooden rods through a router table. The frame consists of a half-lap joint, and the seat is also fitted to the frame. Satin varnish is used for an overall finish to stand out for beech wood's unique beautiful natural color.
Designudfordring: The most challenging aspect of the project was securely connecting the angled and intricate joints. As someone who had only been learning woodworking for just over two years, creating this chair posed a significant challenge for me. However, after numerous trial and error attempts, I successfully achieved sturdy connections for all the joints. This experience left me with the lesson that perseverance in the face of challenges can lead to success.
Forskning: This project aimed envisioning the element of good furniture and setting the direction for my future work. Studying historical pieces, I found that great chairs often express stories of their time through unique, functional forms. Similarly, as a member of present era, I believe my designs should reflect the narrative of my generation, making them distinctive and something only my generation or I can achieve Through this project, I tried to explore individuality and beauty of present generation.
Inspiration: In general, older generations are more likely to perceive younger generations as crooked misfits. However, In my opinion, The quirkiness of the younger generation does not represent rebellion but can be interpreted as an authentic journey of self-discovery and embracement of individual freedom. With this in mind, this furniture features legs, backrest, and crossbars meeting at entirely different angles while coming together in harmony, reflecting the spirit and beauty of the current generation.
Projektvarighed: Started in March 2023 in Seoul. Finished in December 2023 in Seoul.
Driftsflow: The semi-circular backrest provides firm support for the spine, allowing users to sit in various positions comfortably. For instance, even when the user twists their body at a 90-degree angle, the portion that served as an armrest now functions as back support. This aligns with the concept of a perversed, unconstrained generation, offering the functionality of being able to seat in diverse postures.
