Om Haleiwa Stol

Haleiwa væver bæredygtig rotting i fejende kurver og kaster en tydelig silhuet. De naturlige materialer hylder den håndværksmæssige tradition på Filippinerne, der er ombygget til nutiden. Parret, eller brugt som et udsagnsstykke, gør designets alsidighed, at denne stol tilpasser sig forskellige stilarter. Skaber en balance mellem form og funktion, nåde og styrke, arkitektur og design, er Haleiwa lige så behagelig som den er smuk.

Unikke Egenskaber: Legacy meets contemporary. Grace meets strength. Sweeping curves seamlessly merge with striking lines. Rattan, a pliant material commonly used in indigenous Philippine furniture, gets a modern upgrade when paired with a solid metal frame. This chair's form and weave pay tribute to the rich history of the material and the artisans that have crafted pieces from it, while breaking away from tradition just enough to create a statement.
Dimensioner & Emballage: 640mm width x 850mm depth x 830mm height

Produktionsteknologi: Rattan is a sustainable material commonly used for weaving due to its durability. A cantilever design would not have been practical, and thus metal framing was used to add stability. As a nod to the handwoven rattan, the metal was manually bent to shape.
Designudfordring: Stability was a key concern. The width of the legs that connect the base to the seat posed a challenge. The design of a triangular base was the solution that balanced the structural and aesthetic. Internal support placement also posed a challenge since the design shows all of its skeletal composition. The supports had to be created and then strategically located in order to maximize stability, while being as inconspicuous as possible.
Forskning: The research focus for the Haleiwa was on the balance and stability based on its unconventional form. The optimum placements of supports and dimensions of elements were studied and tested throughout the prototyping period.
Inspiration: This piece was inspired by the concept of balance. The balance between strength and fluidity, modern and traditional, complexity and simplicity.
Projektvarighed: The chair was conceptualized in August 2019 and prototype finished October 2019. Designed and manufactured in Manila, Philippines
Driftsflow: The chair is wide enough for the user to sit comfortably in any position. Cushions are also provided for additional ease and comfort without distracting from the visual impact.
