Production Technology

The main materials in the design include solid wood, foam, and fabric. The wooden legs are crafted from turned solid wood. The seat, back, and headrest sections consist of foam and fabric covering applied to the wooden structure. All materials are processed and produced through manual craftsmanship.

Design Challenge

The most challenging aspect during the design of the Well's Lounge Chair was to create a timeless and functional product that combines Scandinavian design philosophy with user ergonomics to provide well-being for both the body and soul. Throughout the design process, we faced internal challenges such as balancing aesthetics with functionality, shaping materials and forms that are beneficial for the body and soul. Additionally, managing external factors like market demands, price and production time, and standardization of the production process was also challenging.

Project Duration

The project started in April 2022 in Istanbul and finished in October 2022. The Wells was exhibited at the Orgatec New Vision Of Work fair in Cologne, Germany, in October 2022, and subsequently showcased at the Istanbul Furniture Fair in January 2023.

Operation Flow

Well's Lounge Chair prioritizes a user centric design for a simple, intuitive experience. With no complex mechanisms, its ergonomic structure seamlessly adapts to the user, offering comfort and support. While not physically transforming, it enhances the user's experience by focusing on both physical and emotional wellbeing. This thoughtful approach elevates performance and contributes to an overall sense of tranquility, making it a standout in modern seating.
