| The (ova) lounge and ottoman is a product
of simplicity, technology, efficiency, and sustainability. The lounge
is made of 72 and the ottoman 36 separate flat parts, cut from 2.5 sheets of stock, that
when stacked horizontally, make the form of an architecturally organic
structure.
The simplicity is in the form and design. The technology is in the
process of fabricating the separate 44 pieces on a CNC (computer numerically
controlled) router. The efficiency and sustainability stem from the
technology of the CNC machining which allows the cutting process to
be done in a fraction of the time it would take to do with conventional
routers. This also makes more efficient use of the material, by creating
less waste and better usage of the sheet goods.
The efficient use of the sheet goods, as well as the consideration
of consumed energy to manufacture the parts, touches on the chair’s
sustainable qualities. The inspiration for the (ova) chair was to
create an affordable chair that embraced technology, and the ever-present
global need for sustainable design & products. |
