Den Design

Iwwer The Monomorph Stull

De Monomorph ass e Stull deen aus 39 identeschen Holzelementer konstruéiert ass. Wann een nëmmen mat enger Form schafft fir e Stull ze kreéieren, resultéiert dat an engem héich haltbaren, moduläre Produkt. Dës dräieckeg geformten Elementer kommen all aus enger Plat vu Multiplex. Déi 39 Elementer sinn duerch Stielistange verbonnen, déi d'Réckenlehne, de Sëtz an d'Bee bilden. De Stull kann als flaach Pak transportéiert ginn an ass einfach ze montéieren. De Multiplex ass a virausgewielten Faarwen ugemolt oder kann onbehandelt an der Rau-Editioun benotzt ginn.

Eenzegaarteg Eegeschaften: The Monomorph is a chair that is constructed with 39 completely identical plywood elements. These elements are connected by steel rods. The plywood is painted in pre-selected colors but can also be used untreated in the RAW edition. The Monomorph is a relaxing fauteuil, intriguing from all angles.
Dimensiounen & Verpackung: The chair has a total depth of 810mm, a total width of 650mm and a total height of 850mm. Materials used are painted plywood, stainless steel tubes with rifling inside and cap screw on the outside.

Produktiounstechnologie: The 38 elements are CNC cut after various scale models were made. There has been substantial testing of various elements resulting in different chairs with different levels of comfort. eventually this single shape turned out to be the perfect single shape to create a chair with. There are several variants with 16 identical elements instead of 39, where the seat and backrest are formed with paper cord, used trucktarp or vegan leather.
Design Erausfuerderung: The hardest part was to actually find the single shape with which to realize an actual chair that is both beautiful and comfortable. After the shape was found the challange was to make the chair stable. For this several models were build and eventually the real life prototype. First with 16 identical elements with vegan leather used for seat and backrest. Later even more pure, using only that one wooden shape.
Fuerschung: As an architect I am always thinking about design and how to make it buildable. In construction the standardisation of elements, or even complete houses, has become more and more important. To keep costs acceptable, to minimize failure and maximize sustainability. But standardisation also limits the architects freedom to actually make a design. That is why I try to design these standardised elements myself in order to make the design leading and the standard elements following. The Monomorph is based on this principle of design lead standardisation. It is a chair constructed with 39 identical elements, which is a wooden triangle with rounded corners. A chair is formed by connecting these 39 elements with steel rods. The same element can be seat, backrest or leg. By adding more elements the chair can even be a sofa.
Inspiratioun: In nature, an organism existing out of one shape is called a monomorph. The Monomorph chair is the result of my research to find this ideal single shape to create a chair with: One form to define the result. It makes building the chair efficient, creating less waste.
Projetdauer: The chair was designed in Januari 2024 in Utrecht, The Netherlands after several models were made. The first real size prototype was build in March 2024 after which extensive testing at the designers house took place. All in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Operatiounsablaf: The chair can be assembled by everyone who can handle a allen wrench.
