EDGE

EDGE furniture is a set of chair pieces that respond to different assignments. All pieces were created following ergonomics, modern aesthetics and sustainability problems.

SQUARE chair set

LINE chair

CIRCLE chair set

SQUARE chair set

From a box to a chair set. This chair was designed to fit in small spaces and be used when needed. It can be stored as 18x18x18 inch box. Once some seating space is needed or children want to play at the table, 3 chairs and a table can be assembled from the box.

Process

I started with sketches and then moved to the physical prototypes. First Cardboard then MDF after which I started looking at plywood sheets and color application.

Assembly

To be assembled the chair and table parts have to be pressed on top of each other

Lower seat for kids

Higher seat for adults

LINE chair

As an inspiration for this project I took my curvilinear project from Fall 2022. By the shape of this chair I was trying to repeat the movement and composition of my curvilinear problem and at the same time keep the hierarchy. This is a prototype but the actual chair would be made out of wood and clear recycled plastic.

Process

CIRCLE chair set

The seat is perfect for small NYC apartments. Using only sustainable materials such as cork and loofah, the Tower seat has been created. You can have many seats stacked together and once your friends come over for a board game, each one can have a seat around a coffee table.

Materials: For this seat only natural sustainable materials were used. Cork has many benefits such as water resistance, it is also fire resistant and anti-microbial. Cork products have very little or no negative impact on the environment. Loofah is a 100% natural material which is harvested, dried, washed and ready to use with no negative impact.
