CHALLENGE:
According to the former explanation, "simplicity" is the core of Afra's design. It can be realized at three levels: aesthetics, function and issues related to manufacturing and production. In the configuration of this chair, the main challenge has been the path of energy transfer (weight of the chair or user) to the ground and correct placement while maintaining the simplicity of the form. The important thing about Afra's design is that the entire body of the design is simply defined in a closed loop with a square geometry, and other parts including the seat plate, armrests (which also form the rear legs), front legs and even the wooden backrest, They all connect to the same loop and form an integrated whole. In another angle, this square both makes the integrity of the structure possible and is also recognized as the form distinguished icon at first glance.
