Project Introduction:
Vink is a project that consisted on the development of an iconic chair for a waiting or a leisure room.
Aiming to achieve a perfect bonding between two diferent materials and technologies, the visual language chosen, enhanced the contrasts of a diamond shape fiber glass shell and a simple, folding, round and modular plywood structure. These two would meet in a convergence of surfaces that support the whole weight of a person, and at the same time provide a easy operational and noteworthy fixing system, made specially for this project.
On the other hand, incredible confort as been reached through an adequate ergonomical posture calculation and testing, providing surprising relaxation experience.
