DESIGN NAME: sedi_ale
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Chair and Stool
INSPIRATION: An independent unique scenery was the motivation to create this project. Sedi_ale's purpose is to go beyond borders denying to be a common sitting. Intends to elicit the interest of the users while entering into a space, creating an elegant and comfort zone of a house or a public space.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The "sedi_ale" project was named after the combination of the italian words "sedia" and "sedile" which describe its functional use. The design is based on the philosophy of minimalism. Bright colors and pure lines are the characteristics of these structures. The singularity of sedi_ale is the system of three legs which controls the balance and creates a dynamic visual perception and several emotions, depending on the color selection.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The multifunctional use of the stool depends on the users' willingness. As the chair is the core of this project, the stool can be used as a sitting element, a footstool or as a small table.
