De Decker Sella Plicabilis

Decker sella plicabilis est ad usum in navigiis oblectatoriis destinata. Sella aperitur ut sedile humile et reclinatorium fit, et in formam compactam plicatur centum tantum millimetra crassam. Compages ex chalybe inoxidabili facta est, tubis trapezoideis et ansis fusis constans, quae ferramentis ex orichalco in punctis cardinis iunguntur. Laminae ex ligno teak non ipsi compagini sed loris intextis affiguntur, ita ut sedes et dorsum cum utente flectantur. Geometria ultra centrum posita loris tensionem praestat cum sella aperta est. Flexus in compage sedis ansam gestandi efficit, et magnetes crura plicata in loco continent.

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares
Inspired by the need for quality compact furniture on yachts, the Decker folding yacht chair easily folds from a lounge chair to a compact form factor. Teak wood slats are secured to webbing straps rather than the stainless steel frame to provide flex and added comfort in the seat. A jog in the seat frame creates a handle when folded and allows the needed geometry for an over center design that keeps the webbing in tension and the backrest open while in use.

The teak seat and back slats are secured to webbing straps that run from the front of the seat to the top of the back. When unfolded, the unique over-center design provides tension on the straps holding the teak seat and back. The straps provide a secure seat that flexes and gives with the user.

Technologia Productionis
Materials common in yachts such as stainless steel, brass and teak are used in the Decker chair. The stainless steel frame is fabricated with trapezoidal tubing and cast lugs. The tubing and lugs are welded and finished to create a seamless frame. Brass hardware is used for pivot joints and fastening hardware. An optional pad with outdoor fabric withstands the elements encountered by yachts.
Provocatio Designandi
The chair has a simple design, yet there were several challenges in the design. Creating tension in the webbing and teak slats through the over center design of the backrest required multiple prototypes and webbing materials to be tested. The simplicity of the pivots required design iterations to create surfaces that interact with each other while the chair was open and closed. These simple details become the highlight of the chair.
Investigatio
A lower lounge chair was selected to aid the ability to fold and nest shorter legs. An ergonomic model was created that allowed for adjustment of the angle and height of the seat and back.. Adjusting the angles and length of the components allowed for the geometry to be tested by various users for maximum comfort.
Inspiratio
There is not a lot of room on yachts, but they maintain a high desire to have flexible furniture that can be easily stowed when not in use. Plastic chairs or bulky furniture aren't at home on expensive yachts. The Decker folding yacht chair can be used on deck and easily stowed when needed.
Duratio Operis
Design completed January 2022 with prototype units completed March 2022 in Seattle, Washington USA.
Cursus Operationis
The folding chair is simple to use. To close the chair simply flip the backrest down onto the seat. The teak slats relax when folded as the webbing is no longer under tension. With the backrest folded, the chair can be picked up by the handle on the back of the seat frame. The front legs are then folded followed by the back legs. The legs are held in place by magnets embedded inside the tubing.

The same process is used to unfold the chair. First the legs are unfolded and the chair placed on the legs. The backrest is opened and the teak slats are tightened with the webbing is tightened.
