關於 Hopper 椅子

Hopper係一張為輕鬆坐姿而設計嘅木製椅子。雙彎曲框架配合訂製輪廓線條，提升舒適度之餘，亦賦予椅子動感造型。輪廓嘅三個角位喺身體接觸椅子嘅位置做咗圓角處理，同時保留一個銳利邊緣，突顯整體形態。傾斜角度過渡成流暢嘅扶手同靠背。承托同支撐板件增添輕盈感同結構穩定性。各部件以五軸CNC加工製作，再以人手組裝而成。

新聞資料包

由設計師提供嘅製作人員名單、團隊成員同技術詳情。

獨特屬性: The double curved wood frame with customized profile ensures comfort while also enhancing the dynamic form of the chair. The profile has its three corners filletted where the body is in contact with the chair. On the other hand, one strong edge still remains to highlight the overall gesture and appears with higher contrast under the lighting effect.
尺寸同包裝: 550 x 645 x 800
標籤: furniture, chair, ergonomic, wood
生產技術: With high quality requirement and subtle details, the chair’s parts were made using 5 axis CNC for finishing accuration. A technician with 20 years of experience in craftsmanship then worked to assemble these parts and details together.
設計挑戰: It was a challenge to ensure structure and rigidity with the chair’s significant curves and incline without losing the purity of the form. Various testing took place to study different relationships between front legs and back legs’ curve and angle. Supporting structural frames and joints were then added underneath the seat to ensure stability.
研究: Throughout the design process, there were many studies on the overall form to reveal strong gestures with simplicity. After multiple iterations of the leg and frame profile, a scale model was 3d printed for mock up before sending the final design to the factory.
靈感: Hopper Chair with its reclined ergonomics invites the users to sit back and relax. The signature double curves form an energizing and friendly gesture, which recalls a joyful spirit of hopping. When not in use, Hopper Chair is still a spark of joy in the space.
項目時長: The project was designed in Hanoi, Vietnam in May 2021 and finished in Binh Duong, Vietnam in February 2022
操作流程: With a welcoming gesture, Hopper Chair offers its user to relax with comfort. The reclined angle with a smooth curve turns into pleasant armrests and backrests. The double curved frame is designed to give light and open feelings with resting and support panels, which also enhance structural stability.
