BILL

2008

Based as sitting on a horse creating a new ergonomic archetype.

The design of the well-known inflatable sitting ball was reconsidered and reduced to its essence: the shape of a circle. During the drawing process I started manipulating this shape with the materialization on top of mind. By pulling open the layers of laminated veneer wood at the top, a 3-dimensional ergonomic seating element was created that stimulates flexible sitting while exploring the possibilities of bended wood. So far the sketching part, which I always translate directly into my own modest studio to be convinced by the possibilities of this layered veneer.

The two prototypes on pictures, both diam 82cm, are made for people between 160-180cm. The object will be made in four different diameters: 37cm, 52cm, 67cm and 82cm: to be introduced in kindergarten and grows with it to basic school, high school and office.
