Eureka

Lounge Chair for Beijing Yeak Tech Co. Ltd.

The Eureka Lounge Chair is inspired by the smallest surface in nature, the Empener surface, and gives a sense of order and flow to the lounge space through a mathematically modelled curved form. The smooth curves and curved edges add visual tension to the product. Wool fabrics from the Kvadrat Sprinkles collection, in warm colours, allows the user to perceive the comfort of the furniture before using it and creates a desire to confirm this feeling through use.

Production Technology

The interior is made of glass steel with mould, covering with fabric made of wools from Kvadrat Sprinkles series. The kaleidoscopic colored dots make the fabric look different in different viewing angle. This special fabric can be stretched from all directions, making it the ideal material for curved deck chair.

Design Challenge

The challenge in the design process was to find a technical solution that integrates the highest level of aesthetic, comfort and sustainability. As a result, the Enneper was the final choice aiming to harmonize the overall sense of flow and order through the curved structure conforming to the mathematical model, and to ensure ergonomics and comfort with its unique design.

Project Duration

The project was designed and developed in Beijing in January 2021 and launched in China in November 2022.

Operation Flow

Interaction with the user is generated from the appeal of mathematical order through organic form. Arcs at the edges add some tension to the product, inviting the user to sit or lie down comfortably. Shapes with a sense of order and warm colors allow users to perceive the comfort of furniture before using it, triggering users to actual use to prove this feeling.

Research

Form comes first followed by function and ergonomics in the design process. The designers settled on Enneper surface after studying mathematical models in the nature, presented in pure geometric shapes. With the observation of nature, the shape is endowed with various functions, including backrest, chair legs and so on.

Inspiration

Inspired by the smallest Enneper in the nature, Eureka Lounge Chair is stable with a sense of flow, a high light in modern interior design. The unique colorful dots changes in visual with the viewing angle echoing the flow effect of the curved chair with impressive aesthetic.
