dobra chair

Dobra is based on the traditional typology of a wooden chair with an upholstered seat. The chair’s character is defined with a double, symmetrically placed leg cones. On the cones joints, the axis changes angle in order to meet the functional geometry parameters, thus bringing the dynamics in the conservative form of archetypal wooden chair with armrests.

We have reinterpreted the traditional typology of a wooden chair with armrests using a characteristic ‘break’ in the geometry of front legs. Rounded geometry of turned armrests and the backrest is mirrored in the lenticular cushions. Primarily functional intersection between the legs and transversal bars on the seat maintains geometrical exactness. Intersections between the backrest and armrests, perceptible by touch, were created according to the principles of organic transformation of volume. Those contrasts between ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ elements and intersections shape the Dobra’s characteristic formal language.
