Time 2019
Lounge Chair
Alias, Italy
The ancient craft of origami, the art that transforms paper into a variety of shapes by folding and sculpting it, provided the inspiration for Time. The basic principle of this project, in fact, is the transformation of a simple two-dimensional sheet into a three-dimensional shell. Time was born of the gesture that I made in giving shape to a shell characterised by great stylistic balance and unique ergonomic characteristics. The die-cutting process performed on the sheet, which consists of a sandwich of wood and composites, enables the parts to be fitted together seamlessly, and creates a highly ergonomic, enveloping design.
Flexible and sturdy, thanks to the leading-edge technologies borrowed from snowboard manufacturing, the shell is supported by a slim metal frame. A cushion, rested on the seat for enhanced comfort, does not alter the well-thought-out ergonomic features of the armchair. With Time I experimented with the latest manufacturing techniques and found in Alias the ideal partner to give voice to a new, contemporary language, whereby highly innovative contents can coexist with a strong human component.
