This chair can be used at home, at day care centers and also will fit in waiting rooms. I made a prototype from a bent wood seat including the legs. In my search for production I found a company who can make the different shapes first and afterwards the wood can be bent.
New Thermoformable Wood Material
UPM Grada (www.upmgrada.com) is a new thermoformable wood material for the form pressing industry. Grada technology revitalises the forming of wood with heat and pressure and opens up new opportunities for designs not achievable with traditional methods. UPM Grada’s unique forming properties enable high quality and ecological designs which are also visually appealing.
At the moment the chair is exposed in CBK Amsterdam organised by Stichting Zetel.
ARC Stoelontwerp is een initiatief van Ahrend en de Architect
