About Smile Sedia
Smile è una sedia in legno progettata per l'uso quotidiano. Lo schienale ha la forma dell'angolo di una bocca leggermente sollevato, da cui deriva il nome della sedia. I braccioli, le gambe anteriori e quelle posteriori appaiono come un unico pezzo di legno che si è diviso ed è cresciuto, richiamando l'idea della crescita di tutte le cose. Le linee curve dei braccioli e dello schienale sono leggere, morbide e piene, e creano un delicato effetto di ombre. La sedia è realizzata in faggio e noce nordamericano, modellati attraverso un processo di curvatura del legno. La seduta e lo schienale sono stati perfezionati per migliorare il comfort.

- Production Technology
- Production technology: wood bending process. Materials: Beech, North American walnut.
- Design Challenge
- The connection between the armrest and stool leg of the chair works like a piece of wood that grows after being split. These flowing curves increase the difficulty of production, and are also a great challenge to the production process. Before production, the designer prints out drawings and 3D printed models. Designers and woodworkers have discussed the appearance, dimensions, and craftsmanship many times to minimize errors in production and better restore the design of drawings. Designers use wood's hot bending technology to make handrails. In addition, the connecting part on the seat back has chosen the domino connection structure to restore the drawings as much as possible.
- Research
- Design background: I hope that designing a comfortable chair will also allow users to have a love of things and experience the aesthetics of life. Method: The ancient people's philosophical ideas were extracted, and the concept of the growth of all things was incorporated into the shape of the chair. In terms of aesthetics, the connection between the armrest and the stool leg grew like a piece of wood after being split. Incorporate the degree of line changes in traditional painting and calligraphy works into the lines of the chair, giving the shape a sense of integrity.
- Inspiration
- The backrest of the chair is like a slightly raised corner of the mouth, hence the name "Smile - Chair". The armrests, front legs, and rear legs of the laughing chair are visually like a piece of wood that has been split and grown, reflecting the concept of growth of everything. The delicate lines of the armrest and backrest are like silk, light and supple, full and exquisite, and extremely tension, and create a special shadow effect.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2019 in Hangzhou and finished in August 2020 in Hangzhou.
- Operation Flow
- Chairs are so common that few people care about them. The design of Mua Chair is to improve the details of chair surface and backrest to enhance the comfort, and the curve design of armrest can let users experience complete smoothness.
