Sinuo chair

In a bright color and elegant shape, the Sinuo chair represents the movement and power of the river and thus brings a natural element to your home.

The idea of the chair, inspired by the meanders of river, brings a combination of minimalist vision and decorative, even ornamental aesthetics. Its transparent shape creates a light and elegant structure made of only one material. It can be used with soft, foam squares that are easy to wash. The Sinuo chair was created as a solitary furniture made by manual method of bending metal under high temperature. Product is suitable for both interior and exterior. 

Concept was originally created during a short workshop with amazing Eric Jourdan, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, Slovakia, and finalized as my bachelor project (2019).

I had a vision and the right people around me. Sinuo chair is my personal favourite project and people reacts very positively. The chair also won first award Cena Prof. Jindricha Halabaly 2019 - due to not only a nice appearance, but also a sustainable approach in my design - chair is made of only one material - steel. The project was implemented due to many qualified Slovakian craftsmen. Many thanks to them, and especially to Mr. Gustinko.

If you like my work, appreciate my projects and share them so I can continue to design more and more.




Process

I remember the time when I started experimenting with a whole bunch of materials and trying to bend them into "meanders". It was not entirely clear at the time. Later, when I showed the visualization to some artisans, they actually laugh ... ,, it's not possible, too thin, it's not good or what is it? what is it for? sitting? no way...´´
